This video brings clarity to the question of if insurance covers family or medical leave.
- No federal law mandates paid family or medical leave, with policies varying by state.
- Unpaid leave is federally guaranteed by the FMLA for certain family and medical conditions.
- Short-term disability insurance is often used to compensate for lost income during maternity leave, separate from health insurance.
- It’s advisable to discuss maternity leave policies with employers to navigate available options and understand the benefits provided.
