[quote=Anonymous]I know there is a FMLA sticky post , and I have read most of it, but apologies if this was answered somewhere in there and I missed it!

I am a teacher and work for a school which does not offer any paid maternity leave. They do allow for FMLA leave. I am currently on their insurance, as my husband is a veteran and is using Tricare, which I am not eligible for while he is not actively serving. I plan to use all 12 weeks of leave, and my first question is about if it needs to be consecutive weeks. I am due late November, and my school gives off a week for Thanksgiving, 2 weeks for winter break, and a week for spring break in early March. Someone at work mentioned that they thought those 4 weeks would be part of the 12 weeks of leave, which doesn’t fully make sense to me, since no one will be in the building/there are no work expectations. Does that seem accurate?

Moving forward, my husband actually does plan on re-commissioning into the military and should know if he is accepted by early December . Once he is back in, I am eligible to go on his insurance, but will not until after the baby is born (our hospital of choice  does not accept tricare). If I quit my job after he is accepted due to a military move, and have not used all 12 weeks, those will carry over for the remainder of the year, correct?

Thanks so much for any help-just trying to figure out the best way to navigate all these upcoming changes![/quote]
