company. She is 8 months pre? My daughter in law works for a company that is being sold out to another company. She is 8 months pregnant and just found out this is to take place next week. She has been paying extra for several years for a short term disability coverage that would cover maternity leave. The company is planning on laying all the employees off, then the new company is going to offer to rehire with a pay cut. The new company is keeping the same insurance, but will this effect her maternity pay? Should she go ahead and go on her maternity leave early to claim her benefits?
