What is the name of your state? MA
My husband and I are thinking about starting a family, however my current employer does not pay and/or have short-term disability coverage. If I was to get pregnant and take time off after the baby arrived, it would be an unpaid leave. My former employer categorized having a baby as short-term disability and I would have been covered for up to 8 weeks under their Short-term disability Insurance plan.
Can I purchase a short-term disability insurance contract/policy before I am with child so I would be covered until I return to work?
