When does short-term disability pay out for pregnancy?
You may not think of pregnancy as a disability, but many insurers classify it as one under their STD policies.
If you purchased a policy before you became pregnant, you may be eligible to receive benefits for six weeks after a vaginal delivery and eight weeks after a C-section. If you have a high-risk pregnancy or experience complications, hypertension or postpartum depression after childbirth, your disability benefits might be payable for longer.
Insurers treat pregnancies differently, so check the parameters of your policy before filing a claim.
