I live in NY and just returned to work from maternity leave. I received Short term disability for 6 weeks but was out for 13. I asked my employer who would be responsible for my health insurance while I was out and he told me that they would take care of it and that was the end of the discussion until last week my employer told me that I needed to pay for my portion of my health and dental that they paid while I was out. I questioned it and now I don't think they have a clue. I am the first person to ever go one maternity leave here. Also in our policy mannual it says nothing about FMLA only Unpaid leave and that states they will pay only their portion of health and dental for a period of less than one month. I think from what I have read this is in violation of the FMLA Act. So I guess my question is who is responsible to pay the health and dental insuance?
