I live in Maine but work for a company in North Carolina as a medical transcriptionist. I did not plan on getting pregnant, so had not signed up for the short-term disability offered by my employer. Does either Maine or North Carolina have a state program that offers any kind of disability benefits for me while I am out on maternity leave?

No and no.

The only states that offer state disability plans are California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island (also Puerto Rico, which is not a state).

Thank you for the info!
