Hi,

Need very urgent help here!
I got the PIP form that needs to be signed before the end of this week. I am a permanent resident and not on visa. I would like to get the severance but I need more time finding the next job.

However, I just noticed that in my circumstance with poor mental health condition I can take FMLA. I went to https://www.psychologytoday.com to try find health providers there, but it seems that they will need multiple sessions to complete the FMLA form, which will not meet the deadline of 15 days. (Besides, is this 15 days or 15 business days? Did not see it specify there)

Is this case, if eventually I failed to submit the FMLA form?

Also, for STD, who qualifies to fill out the form? Can a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor fill out a form? Or does it need to be an MD?

I tried to ask my Career Ambassador, but he said they do not discuss about FMLA related details.

Thanks for helping out. #severance #pip #Amazon

    Just call a bunch of therapists/psychiatrists and setup an initial appointment with them. Then during your appointment check if they can support your fmla.

    Since appointments would be virtual these days you don't have find doctors amd therapists outside of your area as well.

    You have upto 22 days to submit the documents since filing for fmla.

    You get some extensions at Amazon, I think at least an extra 7 days (so 22 calendar days total?). It might make more sense to try to improve first. Or find a therapist who'd be willing to sign papers sooner.
