Groups short term disability insurance, or "sick leave" does usually pay for maternity leave. You need to obtain the coverage at least a year before becoming pregnant in order for the group policy to cover your time off before and after having your baby.
Private Disability Insurance does not pay for maternity leave unless there are complications with the pregnancy or childbirth, upon which the long term disability coverage would kick in after the policy's elimination period is met.
