When should you use PTO—before, during, or after state benefits? 🤔 It depends on your employer’s rules and your personal plan for maximizing time off and pay 🗓️💵. Strategically using PTO can help you stretch your maternity leave further and get the most bonding time with your baby 👶💖.

Think of your benefits as buckets:
Disability (for recovery) 🏥

Bonding leave (for baby time) 👶💖
Employer benefits (if offered) 💼

Using them in the right order = maximum time + maximum pay 💵🗓️. Planning ahead and knowing your buckets ensures you don’t leave any time or money behind!

"Think your maternity leave has to end after 6–8 weeks? Think again. 🙅‍♀️
With the right paperwork and your doctor’s certification, you can often extend your paid leave so you have more time to heal, bond, and adjust to life with your baby. 💛
The problem is, no one tells you how to do it—or that it’s even possible! Too many moms rush back to work because they don’t realize they have options.
I’ll walk you through the process step-by-step in my free webinar so you don’t leave time (or money!) on the table. Comment 'webinar' if you want the link, or head to the link in my bio to grab your spot today!"

Here’s the reality: higher-income workers tend to use PFL more often 💼💰 than lower-income workers, often because of job security concerns ⚠️. If you’re worried about taking leave or how it might impact your position, it’s worth exploring your options so you can safely claim the benefits you’ve earned 👶💖. Understanding your eligibility is the first step toward peace of mind and financial security 🗓️💵.

HR might tell you you’re only eligible for 12 weeks of maternity leave… but in California, that’s just the beginning. 🍼✨ Most employers only mention federal leave laws, but California has its own benefits that can give you months more paid time off and job protection than you realize.
The truth? Too many moms go back to work way before they’re ready simply because they didn’t know all the options available to them. 😢
You deserve time to recover, bond with your baby, and actually enjoy your leave without worrying about money or losing your job. 💛

If you’re receiving private disability (like Unum) 💼🩺 and SDI, EDD may reduce your SDI payments ⚖️ to avoid overpayment. This isn’t a penalty—it’s standard practice ✅. Understanding how your benefits interact helps you plan your finances 💵 and avoid surprises. With the right guidance, you can maximize your total pay while on leave 👶💖.

Want the full 12 weeks of bonding leave 🍼💞? You can combine PFL with job-protected leave like CFRA or FMLA. Eligibility depends on how long you’ve worked and your employer’s policies 📋🕒. Planning ahead allows you to maximize both time off and pay without missing key deadlines. With the right roadmap, you can make sure you’re not leaving any benefits behind ✅💵.

EDD benefits are based on the income you earned, not necessarily when you got paid 💰🗓️. If your employer’s payroll dates don’t line up with when you actually earned income, your benefits could be miscalculated ⚠️. Double-check your base period—it could be worth thousands of dollars 💸💡. This detail can make a huge difference in planning your leave.

It can be confusing 🤯: SDI vs. PFL. SDI is for your own disability (like pregnancy and childbirth recovery) 🤰while PFL is for bonding or caregiving 👶❤️. Both programs work together, but understanding which applies to your situation is crucial. Getting the timing and paperwork right can make a big difference in both your pay and your bonding time 🗓️💵.

California’s Paid Family Leave (PFL) gives you up to 8 weeks of partial wage replacement 👶💖 to bond with a new child or care for a seriously ill family member. It’s funded through SDI deductions on your pay stub 💵✅—so if you’ve been paying into the system, it’s money you’re already entitled to. Planning ahead ensures you can maximize both your time off and your pay, without leaving benefits on the table.
