There's always unemployment insurance. For CA see the link below.

If the query is in regards to Social Security Disability benefits, all necessary information concerning eligibility and filing (including down loadable forms) can be found on the related link below.

Another thing to consider is, if you are also going to apply for unemployment benefits. Normally, the unemployment service requires you to be willing and able to seek employment. If you have a disability you're seeking insurance for, it indicates you may not be able to seek work and therefore could be rejected for unemployment benefits

If your occupation has many physical demands, and your healthy pregnancy prevents you from performing your job duties, then short term disability may pay a benefit. Check your policy for specific language.

Is an employer obligated to pay health insurance premiums when an employee goes on short term disability when they normally pay it if employee is not on short term disability?

The employer is obligated to follow its own written policy about employees out on short-term disability leave. The employer cannot, for example, pay for the president's health insurance when she is out on STD leave and then not pay for the entry-level clerk's health insurance when he is out on STD leave. If the employer does not have a written policy, then all employees who take a disability leave should be treated the same.
