How long after you file pregnancy disability do you receive benefits?

The response time varies by the insurance carrier.

If your are filing for pregnancy disability before your delivery, you will have to show why you are unable to work.

If you are filing for maternity benefits the benefit payout is fixed at 8 weeks for c-section, and 8 weeks for vaginal delivery. These benefits are paid more quickly as the amounts are fixed, and it's simple to determine the reason for your disability.
