Best Answer

Unemployment insurance is intended for people who lose their jobs. Many employers will hold jobs open during maternity leave - meaning you probably will be denied. If your employer does not hold your job open, then you would have a legitimate claim.

Short term disability insurance is intended to replace your income during maternity leave, not unemployment insurance.

Can someone collect unemployment when on maternity leave?

If you are on a leave from your employer you are not considered to be unemployed. To be eligible for benefits a person must be unemployed (separated from the employer). They must also be ABLE and AVAILABLE to seek and accept IMMEDIATE full time work. If you are on a medical leave you are still employed, you are probably not able to accept immediate work due to a medical condition, therefore not eligible.

Why does the us not have paid maternity leave?

The United States does not have federally mandated paid maternity leave because there is no specific law requiring it. While the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid job-protected leave, it does not guarantee paid leave. The absence of paid maternity leave is due to a variety of historical, cultural, and political factors that have shaped labor policies in the country.
