Short term disability in USA to extend maternity leave

What do I need to put or ask doctor to write into the STD forms so that I can get approved for it after delivery? My company offers 26 weeks at 70% pay but not sure how this works?? The paperwork says "doctor can certify a longer period under certain medical conditions " . What are those conditions?? do twins help this out?

Answer

Where I work you have to opt in for STD and pay into it for a period of time before you use it... not sure if this is the case for you.

Vaginal delivery gets 6 weeks and c-section gets 8. Not sure how bedrest or other issues factor in at this point.

My plan has either a 14 or 28 day waiting period before it kicks in, too, so that also effects things. It runs concurrent with FMLA and PTO can be used in the waiting period and after the allotted time for FMLA time.
