[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the old days, you would go out on disability. Have you looked into that? It doesn't pay as well, though. Definitely take the three months now, though. I am tired of all the whining about going back to the office -- I have been in person the entire time -- but in your case if I valued you as an employee, I would have worked with you to keep you on, especially with medical documentation.  I would say they don't want you there, so move accordingly.[/quote]

Op here. Yes, sorry, I should have explained. I’m getting short term disability (STD) or I will once I exhaust my existing paid time off). At my work we can get short term disability while on FMLA.

I’ll reassess once I see how I’m doing in November. [/quote]

If you are better sooner, you should be able to go back, at least with respect to the 12 weeks of FMLA.  That's just an estimate. You don't have to use it all just because that's the best guess today. I'm not familiar with how STD works.

I'd be hesitant to use the full 12 weeks if not absolutely necessary (BTDT) because it's nerve-wracking worrying that something else will happen in the next nine months before you're eligible again. Also if you change jobs, you'll have to work there a year to be eligible for FMLA, assuming the company is even big enough.[/quote]
