How much maternity leave do Americans get?

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:14:55 +0000

I am just curious because I have heard it is not a lot.

I am in the UK and I am entitled to one years maternity leave where I work. I get full pay for the first 12 weeks and then half pay for 6 weeks. After that I am entitled to Government maternity allowance for 9 months. I only get this allowance because I work and have paid into the system.

What happens with your health insurance while your on maternity leave?

Since I won't be getting my paycheck while I'm on maternity leave, what will happen with my health insurance? My employer pays most of it, but they still take about 0 a week out of my check for what I have to pay. If I'm not getting a paycheck while I'm on leave, how will my insurance be paid? I have short term disability that I pay into voluntarily every week, so that's what I'll be living off of while I'm out, which isn't really much. How will the insurance get paid?

Why do insurance companies have a 10 to 12 month waiting period to cover maternity?

Wed, 14 Jul 2010 08:15:04 +0000

The only reason I ask is because I am looking for insurance we are going to have the optional maternity coverage added. With my daughter I was 2 months pregnant when I got hired at the company that covered my maternity for her. Why did I not have to wait then, but now I have to?
Is it even worth getting the maternity option?
