So I don't want to tell my job what I am getting done so I said I was getting hernia surgery so I wanted to know as far as the disability forms can I have my job fill out then my dr so they don't know what it was I am having done, I live in New Jersey. Any input would be great!

when I had my FMLA papers filled out the Dr office just said I was having surgery. They said it was none of their business what kind of surgery i was having. Now when the Dr office filled out my disability forms they put down the sleeve surgery. My employer does not see my paper work for disability, it goes straight to the insurance company.

I wondered about that too! The form was perforated so I assumed that meant I could give the Doc his side and my employer their side!

Is FMLA & disability 2 different things?

Is FMLA & disability 2 different things?

I think they are essentially the same, but with different names. Mine is disability insurance that I have through my employer. It will pay my salary for any time off work due to surgery.

FMLA was for my leave of absence form work. They have .hold my job for me... Family Leave act
