Re: Disability or Sick leave???

[Guest guest]

Hi ya! When I was out 6 weeks with my hysterectomy I took vacation

time and state disability-- the state doesn't care if you are using

vacation time and will pay for the whole time. So I was on vacation

for 4 weeks and unpaid leave for 2 weeks for my job and " on

disability " for 6 with the state-- I don't think they pay for time

you are on paid sick leave, but I could be wrong. So you can get

both your vacation time and disability for the same weeks..

Good luck, Nan e.

Marilyn,

It also depends on the company, my company requires that you use your

vacation/Paid Time Off before you use short term disability.

Hi , this A. V. Vickers I met you about a month ago. How are you

doing? I am in the process of gaining clearance for Dr. K and wondered

also about the disability. I am a state employee, do you know if I can

get NDI and State California Disability Insurance. I'm reluctant to ask

at work right now because they get all bent out of shape about that kinda

stuff.

Any feedback?

Oh! Have you heard from . Last I saw her she was recovering in

the hospital, I e-mailed her but haven't heard. Just thought you might

know.

Thanx
