Found out today from HR that I have exceeded my FMLA 12 week period. …that may extend it to personal leave and hold my job but by law no longer have to. But of course I can apply for long term disability through the company which would only pay 66% of my monthly income. My doctor didn’t think I was ready yet, but I’m so depressed about it now Idk what I can do! I’m working hard to get back to me, but apparently it’s not enough yet.
Betty, this stress doesn’t help at all…I would highly suggest what will be the less stressful option here…you have to think of you.
Can you get by on LTD? I took LTD as my husband continues to work full time.
Is it not better to be on LTD while you’re still employed than not have that option with no employment? I don’t know it’s such a personal decision.
Go with your gut, and what’s best for you!!
If you’re unable to return to work, than LTD seems like the better option.
Positive thoughts, hope you’re able to reduce the stress this decision is causing you…(( hugs ))
Thank you Mimi for your positive words and encouragement I appreciate it very much. I kept having nightmares last night ans did not sleep well at all. You are so right that I don't need the stress it won't help anything.
I am trying to put all that aside and just focus on getting better!!!
