    Short Term Disability Insurance offered by an employer can cover maternity leave. There is a normally a requirement that you need to have worked for that employer some time before becoming pregnant in order to be eligible for this benefit.

    Private Short Term Disability Insurance, unfortunately, does not cover maternity leave. Long Term Disability, both group and private, will cover disabling complications of pregnancy or delivery.
