Question I am a veteran with less than one year of service dismissed under General
Honorable discharge due to mental condtion. About a week after discharge I
discovered I was pregnant. I married the father and began work in a temp
agency. I have been dismissed by the temp agency until after my post partum
period of six weeks. I do not have any additional income and am concerned
about paying my bills for the six weeks that I recover from child birth. Is
there any programs out to help a person in my situation.
Answer Stefie: I would run to an employment lawyer in your area, as it would appear that you are covered under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, at a minimum. That attorney will be in a better position to tell you what other laws may apply to you.
