What benefits are pregnant teenagers under 16 in titled to and?

What is available for childcare during school hours and how long are you aloud off for maternity leave?What benefits are pregnant teenagers under 16 in titled to and?
Look up central district health. Go there and take a pregnancy test. Apply for Medicaid presumptive eligibility. Go to WIC apply for food assistance.





I know most main cities have schools that offer in school childcare for pregnant teens. Look up to see if there's one in your area.What benefits are pregnant teenagers under 16 in titled to and?
In the UK you are not entitled to any benifits, I think your parent/guardian may be entitled to some if your household income falls in to the right bracket (ie low income household).





As far as child care during school hours, you would have to put your baby into a private nursery or with a childminder, and these are pricy (a friend of mine has their baby in a nursery and its 拢1000 per month). Again you may get government assistance towards this but that will also be based on your household income.





As far as maternity leave from school, you are not entitled to 'maternity leave' as you would be in employment. You would have to discuss your options with your school as to what time you can have off, I guess they would want this to be minimal and you would need a drs certificate for any extended time off. Obviously if you miss any key exams (SATS/GCSE's etc) you would have to sit these the following year.
There is no maternity leave for high school, the time your out is the time you miss if you dont have understanding teachers that will let you do your work at home as you go, and your entitled to no different benefits than any other low income pregnant woman is entitled to. Medicaid and WIC, thats about it.
This really depends on your household income. Since you're under 18 your parents are still responsible for you and staying in school. If your parents are rich you probably wont qualify for any government assistance. You could try applying for childcare assistance through your local government center. My high school had a free daycare, so you might want to look into that. You can get a note from your doctor for 6 weeks off of school.
There really are no benefits at all. your life stops. no advantage. do you think 'yayy! im pregnant! now i dont have do do homework!!';





uhm.. no .





how are you going to get a good job? what do you think people will perceive you as?





like i said: no advantage.
There isn't a set time your allowed off. You take as long as you need and depending on your grades and credits you have. If you take weeks off of school you probably won't graduate on time.
