According to NYS disability, you need to be employed by a covered employer for at least 4 consecutive weeks to be covered by disability insurance. Has anyone here been approved or denied disability insurance for your post op recovery period?

Hmm well I'm from WA state so the regulations may be different, but if you haven't been employed long enough to qualify for things like disability or FMLA, typically there is some sort of medical leave offered by employers or the state...it allows for 8 weeks of unpaid, job-secured leave due to medical needs. It's unpaid, but there is no length requirement.
