disability?

When can you stop working? And who grants disability for you? I'm 25 weeks and I work in a pizza store. I must say it is extremely hot in there and I can't stand the heat no ac it's hot! I'm a driver and the pizzas do get heavy after carrying so many. So I was wondering when I could get disability.

It was a easy process. I just went through thebenefits department at my job and they took care of everything. But it's pretty great no stress and I'm still getting paid 60% of my pay so that's good. And they give our employees 26 weeks for the whole pregnancy for complications etc so I'm very grateful or I would be screwed

Oh thats right unless u have some sort of problem with ur pregnancy/health then they cant put u on disability. U should really let ur boss know u cant handle it or just take it easy at work

I have asked my ob and told him my situation but he said he couldn't put me on disability bc he wasn't allowed to do it. And my boss I asked to cut down my days and he hasn't! It's very frustrating bc I'm working 40 hrs a weeks last week they wanted me to work 6 days! I just asked to cut my days down to 4 but nothing yet!

If u want to be on disability you have to talk to ur ob and they will put u on it. If ur thinking of doing maternity leave then u ask ur boss at how many weeks u are able to take it which is Usually 36.
