[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found out I was pregnant the same day I was offered a position. Worked 5 months and then out 19 weeks on leave (going back to work in 2 days). Was not eligible for Fmla or dcfmla but was eligible for dc paid leave and my workplace 12 week paid leave. So I basically did short term disability for 6 weeks and then  got paid from dc and my job. My leave wasn’t job protected but I don’t think it wouldn’t looked good for them to let go a pregnant woman…not quite good PR wise….I basically got paid for 18 weeks after only working 5 months[/quote]

Thanks, this is helpful! So you do qualify for DC paid leave even if you haven't been working somewhere a year? That's one thing I've been trying to figure out.[/quote]
It looks like you just need to have had wages reported for you (and the associated tax) from your employer for 1 year prior to taking leave. The link below doesn’t say it has to be the same employer.

How long have you been unemployed?

My last employer wasn't in DC. [/quote]
Did you perform your work in DC? My employer is based on VA for this area, but our employees that perform work in DC are covered by DC paid family leave. [/quote]
