[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how far along were you on November 23?[/quote]

8 weeks. I took a pregnancy test on 11/1, but because they go off missed period (October 25) or time of conception (October 10-11), I don't qualify. [/quote]

Right. Because they don’t want people finding out they’re pregnant during open enrollment, and then signing up. Which frankly sounds like exactly what you did.

Short Term Disability insurance is insurance. It’s for things you don’t know are coming up, and also (because the US kinda sucks) for having babies.

Don’t turn it down in the future. It’s there in case you need it - whether you’re with the employer for a month, or for decades.  [/quote]

You make it sound like she did something nefarious. Finding out that you’re pregnant a few days into open enrollment is just pure bad luck. If she’s due July 4th, that timeline makes sense. Going based off a last missed period, which happened to be only a couple of days prior to open enrollment, is again, bad luck, not something fraudulent like you’re making it out to be. [/quote]
