When to submit Short Term Disability request for maternity leave?

Question

Answer

If you're talking about disability insurance, you can't file a claim until the event actually occurs. The exact dates need to be on the paperwork and most disability insurance doesn't kick in until 10-14 days after the medical event. For FMLA my employer told me to go ahead and fill out the paperwork for my due date and then if I actually delivered before she would change it.

Answer

I let my HR office at work know a couple months ahead of time, but didn't file the short term disability claim until the day after I gave birth. As far as I know, you can't file that claim in advance

Answer

I let my work know already and they said to come see them 4-6 weeks before my due date so they can get the paperwork ready.

Answer

It wouldn't let me do it until my actual last day of work for some reason. Then there's the 7day waiting period
