Did you ever consider switching to DOE?
Thanks for taking the time to help me btw :-) |
Personally, I have not considered switching. While there is the obvious pro of a much better salary and benefits, there are many cons that would not work for me right now.
Just thinking- if you need some extra money and can't find a speech job in the summer, would you take a diff job? I know some speech therapists who work in day camps in the summer as a secretary or morah or specialty like arts and crafts or baking. Or can you do some babysitting just for the summer....maybe that'll help you get through the months

Even a partial case load will bring in money so that you don’t run on empty…

When I did PFL after working as a P3 provider and giving birth in late September, I counted the 2 weeks I worked in September and the 6 weeks I worked in May and June. I didn't work in July or August or the first week of September so I didn't count those weeks.
Also if you do disability, keep in mind they don't count the first week you go on disability. So you have to go a week with no payment at all, then there are 5 weeks of disability, and then at that point you are 6 weeks post partum and eligible to go back to work so they no longer pay disability. So even though you are eligible for 6 weeks of disability, at the end of the day you only get to use 5.
