It depends on your firm. Check your employee handbook

It doesn’t mention anything about repaying maternity leave benefits, but it says if I don’t return from leave, I will have to repay my insurance benefits. But it doesn’t say how long I need to return for.

like

“An employee who returns to work for at least 30 calendar days is considered to have returned to work” 29 CFR § 825.213(c)

https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/29/825.213

It’s silent on it.

Send a copy of the handbook to your personal email and start preparing your resignation. You should be fine!
