What he said. I was never approved for FMLA with the 3rd party vendor.

And then after I returned they sent me a survey...I actually got a call back from some guy who listened to me make some suggestions. Like don't send the denial email Friday night at 10pm when no one will be in the office until Monday...I spent more that one weekend fuming about the denial.

Anyway, apply if they don't approve it...forget it, short call them when your wife goes into labor.
