  • Maternity Leave in California?

    I've been on maternity leave, receiving State Disability Insurance (SDI) benefits, since September 17th. I'm coming up on my last check and the 12 week mark to return to work.

    However I am aware that with the last SDI check they mail a form for Paid Family Leave (PFL) baby bonding time that I can take and get additional pay for 6 weeks.  I would love, love, love an additional six weeks home with my handsome baby boy. I feel like I just left work yesterday, and here it is almost time to go back.

    My question is, does anybody know how I inform my employer of this additional six weeks baby bonding time? If with the application they mail me something for my employer, or if I just tell them. I don't want them to come at me saying I can't take it, when everything I've read shows clearly that I can.

    Has anyone else been able to use PFL in addition to SDI? Any advice or input would be appreciated.
