Frequently Asked Questions

Copied to clipboard!
  • How much will Unum pay me?
    Unum will pay you in weekly payments during your 4 week maternity leave. Your total salary outlined in last year's W2 will be divided by 52. 60% of that number will be what Unum pays each week. This money is subject to taxes.
  • When do I File a Claim?
    File 4 weeks prior to your expected due date (it's okay if the date of your child's birth on the claim is different than the actual birth date of your child).
  • What is healthy beginnings?
    Healthy Beginnings isn't exactly maternity leave, but it's a benefit provided to you through SelectHealth that gives you cash payments for going to pre and postpartum appointments. You'll also be given a direct line to a nurse to ask questions throughout your pregnancy. If your spouse is having a baby and is covered by the Banzai health plan, they can benefit from this program.
