Thank you Everyone! I will be in touch!

I will have my son Text you if I am not able Lizzie to let you know how it went. Feel welcome to post what he texts you here if you want! =D

So you can't tap into FMLA plus state disability?

I have FMLA (which does not pay you anything) it only ensures you that your position will not be taken. I filed FMLA so my job is secure.  They cannot fire me for up to 12 weeks of medical leave. I also have short term disability but it only pays about 65% of my check. I am the sole income for a family of four. I cannot afford to lower my check to 65% without losing my credit possibly my house etc. So unless something really bad happens and I have to taken the STD I will simply just go back to work when my PTO is up. =)

FMLA and STD you can take at the same time. Only STD pays. FMLA secures.

Do you have short-term disability?  That got me through the 2 mos off that I took.  They paid 60% of my salary, tax-free, so it was very close to what I was making while working.  It took very little budgeting to make up the difference.
