NJ Teachers/Prudential Disability

Hi Ladies,

 I also posted this on the Sept. 2011 Board as well as 3rd Tri Board... 

I have a question for any NJ teachers who also pay into the Prudential Disability plan.  Does anyone have any clue if we are able to collect disability over the summer months?  I tried calling Prudential to begin the paperwork for disability because it was my understanding that we can collect 4 weeks before our due date and 6 weeks after.  I am due Sept. 9th.  My Dr. wrote me out for my Board of Ed note as of August 10th.  My question is will Prudential honor that date since technically I am a 10 month employee and I don't work in the summer anyhow?  When I called up to begin my claim they asked me when my last day of work is.  Well, my last day was technically June 24th...Do i tell them June 24th or August 10th?  I just am so confused!  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!

    It doesn't matter that you are a 10 month employee they consider you a 12 month.  You should tell them the June 24th date.  The is a waiting period depending on how much you pay into it.  I have a 30 day waiting period so I cannot get the 4 weeks before.  They do it a real screwy way which I do not understand at all.

    So my last day was June 24th I have a 30 day waiting period which brings me to July 25th to collect funds...I am due Aug 2nd and 4 weeks before is July 2nd but that is during the 30 day waiting period so I cannot collect.  I can only get the 6 weeks after.

    If you tell them June 24th you will be able to get the 4 weeks before depending on what they say about the dr note.  He could always change the date.

    Ok Great!  Thanks so much for the feedback!  I feel like such an idiot with all of these forms and procedures!  I will tell her June 24th then.  Thanks again!

    Ditto pp.  4 weeks before and 6 weeks after for vaginal birth, 8 weeks for c-section.  Summer doesn't matter.  I just had to provide a dr's note with my due date and that he wanted me out of work 4 weeks before.

    My MIL had surgery and she was able to collect over the summer.  She told me it should be the same for pregnancy.
