You are probably talking about “short term disability” coverage?
No-I’m talking about the maternity leave benefits being paid by the insurance carrier-since childbirth is not a disability of any duration, the only similarity I was using as illustration was that the insurance carrier paid-just like a workers comp insurance carrier pays SIBS, TIBS, etc to a worker injured on the job-having been a comp case manager, it was the best example I could come up with to illustrate the point-sorry if I wasn’t clear...
But I’ll bet if guys were the ones being pregnant and giving birth, pregnancy and childbirth would instantly qualify as a permanent disability-at least 50%-requiring lifetime compensation...
