I am about to go on maternity leave. By law I am allowed to take up to 12 weeks off. However, I only have about 6 weeks worth of sick and vacation time accrued and my employer has informed that if I go on unpaid leave, whether it be because I choose to or because I have to (if I'm not well enough to come back after those 6 weeks) that I will have to reimburse them for insurance benefits they pay while I am on leave without pay. It sounds fair enough and I've tried looking up any laws regarding this but can't find any, and many folks I've explained this to find it suspicious. Thanks for your help.

Yes, this falls under FMLA leave.
