Standard mat leave is 6 weeks I believe. Why not just self fund your own short term disability? IE save?
Oh no you didn't....trying to put logic in a situation, shame on you, don't you know that as Americans someone else should be responsible if I want to have a kid
Is this is shot at me?
I am republican and I pay taxes every year buddy. My wife and I are thinking about having another child. Short term disability which is form of insurance is something we have paid for the last 10 years. Now she is taking a job making more money as a part time worker but they don't offer short term disability insurance. Not a hand out pal just a serious question for people that can't afford to lose 2 months of pay.

Maybe I'm just not up to date on today's maternity leave options, but I've never heard of anyone taking disability after having a kid.

Not a shot at you, a shot at the situation, and paying taxes has nothing to do with STD. It appears your wife took a part time position with more pay and less benefits, now you see the value of those benefits. But to answer your original question, do one of two things, personally save the money she will not make, or buy a personal individual STD policy from someone like AFLAC, but be pre warned they usually exclude pregnancy benefits until a waiting period is over, otherwise people would just wait till they needed it to buy it and drop it after they used it.
