You have medical and dental until your package runs out.
Right now, you get 6 weeks if you've worked at DEC for
6-15 years. Anything more than that is 8 weeks and anything
less is 4 weeks. Once your medical coverage is up then
it's up to the person to find coverage elsewhere (COBRA).
I'm not 100% sure about this but I'm about 99% sure ;-).

| 785.3 | Coverage can be complicated and varies; check with your provider | BARSTR::PCLX31::satow | gavel::satow, dtn 223-2584 | Wed Jul 20 1994 15:06 | 21 |
| I suspect that coverage varies widely, depending on whether it's one of the
Digital Medical Programs (DMP1 or DMP2) or an HMO. In any case, I'd advise
checking directly with the Benefits folks (if it's one of the DMPs) or with
the HMO.
Coverage for pregnancy tends to be more complicated than for other types of
medical situations. In some cases the insurance provider covers a pregnancy
if the pregancy BEGAN (i.e. you BECAME pregnant) while covered by the plan.
In those cases, though, sometimes coverage does not include things like
complications, or any expenses attributable to the baby (such as the stay in
the nursery, or if there are complications).
Bottom line: check with your health care provider.

| I don't believe that the numbers stated here for how
long the packages are is right. The info we received was:
4 weeks of pay PLUS
up to 6 years service, 4 weeks pay
from 6-15 years service, 6 weeks pay
over 15 years service, 8 weeks pay
So, someone with 6 years would get 10 weeks and someone with
73 years :-) would get 12 weeks.

Cobra is a Plan that guarantees your right that you can
continue your medical insurance for up to 18 months (you pay for it)
so that you cannot be denied insurance.. ie: if you are already pregnant
that is a "pre-existing" condition and you may get turned
down if you were to go out to get your own medical insurance
after being laid off.. With this at least you know you will
not be turned down and you will have coverage...

| I've just looked into this issue recently. Normally the employee would
take off 2 weeks before the designated due date, and get 6 weeks off
after the birth of the baby. This time off is covered by short-term
disability insurance which is currently UNUM. If the employee is layed
off before leaving for maternity leave, it is just as the previous
noters described, you would have the option of extending your medical
and dental benefits at your own cost. Digital won't still provide the
employee with paid maternity leave if layed off before the leave date.
I'm praying it doesn't happen to me, its tough to search for a job
at 7 months pregnant!
