Disability and Family Bonding Leave

I am not due till January 4th but I am seeing all of these questions about collecting disability and family bonding leave so i figured i would start asking my questions now. :)  I am a teacher and will be taking maternity leave from January until September.  I will get paid for 40 sick days (8 weeks) for maternity leave.  My questions is is everyone entitled to disability and the family bonding leave?  I know this wouldn't happen until after i have been paid my 40 days---but I don't really know how any of this works (this is my first baby) and i am just trying to figure out what we are actually entitled to ahead of time. Any information that anyone could give me would be great and really appreciated.  TIA!

    I am due in a few weeks and am also a teacher.   From what I gather, first you use your sick days, then 12 weeks Federal Leave (no pay, benefits) then 12 weeks NJ Leave (Family Bonding) 6 weeks is paid.  


    I don't know if you can skip the Federal and go right to NJ leave -- I don't think you can. I never looked into it b/c I knew I wanted to take the Federal Leave for more time.   

    Do you pay into disability as well?    If you do, that would be separate pay -- 6 weeks.  I pay into Prudential through the NJEA.  

    Here's some info for the NJ Leave
