No. You cannot claim to be looking for work if you are incapacitated from surgery. The taxpayers are not obligated to pay you to subsidize your recovery.

If you had surgery and can not work can you collect unemployment?

Might be eligible for Workman's Comp: If the surgery was due to working conditions you might be eligible for workman's compensation, but this is not the same as unemployment. To be eligible for unemployment, you have to be ready, willing, available and ABLE to work, and if you said you could not work, then you are not eligible. If the injury occurred while on the job, you probably are eligible for Workers Comp. Whether not being able to work, otherwise, the claim would depend on the rules of your state's employment security office. Might be eligible to collect unemployment: I'm not certain that's entirely true. If he/she is laid up in bed, then in all likelyhood they would not qualify. It all depends on the nature of the injury/recovery. If, however, they were able to perform modified duty such as sitting in a chair doing data entry, then they would be willing to work. If their specific job does not provide for that type of light duty or there are no available positions to fill, he/she may be entitled to unemployment. i.e. Willing to work, able to work, no work available. Provided they are still employed by the same company.


Can you continue to collect unemployment benefits while you have surgery in Oklahoma?

You do have certain obligations that must be met in order to get and receive unemployment benefits. If those obligations ie employment tries aren't met they can discontinue your benefits. Best ideal is to call the Oklahoma employment office and explain your situation. The worst that can happen is they echo what I have posted here. You are entitled to resume receiving your benefits once you are able to fulfill the obligations.


In the state of Georgia can you collect unemployment benefits for the week you will be unable to work following surgery for a workman's comp claim?

No you can not. You will not be eligable for unemployement. There is a 7 day waiting period until your WC benefits kick in but once you are out for 21 days, WC will go back and pay you for the first 7 days you were out.


If you work part-time - nine hours a week and you need surgery and will be unable to work for three months afterwards can you collect unemployment benefits?

First, working only 9 hours a week probably will not qualify you. Needing surgery, unless work related, would also not qualify you for unemployment. The fact that you would be unable to seek full time employment during the 3 month recovery time would make you ineligible, because that is one of the prerequisites of qualification. Best to seek Workman's Comp (if eligible) or some other state relief resources.
