Maternity leave is permission by your employer to not attend work but still be paid because you are pregnant or looking after a child. Obviously if you are unemployed, you do not have a job, therefore the question of whether you can get leave from it is irrelevant.
check out www.askbaby.com or businesslink websites who explain you rights very well. It helped me.
There is nothing that can prevent you from returning to work, but you may forfeit your remaining disability benefits.
He doesn't have to wait. He can fire you anytime. Returning from what? Above is true, except for returns from military leave. USERRA requires that employer not dismiss you for 12 months after return from mil leave.

Being pregnant is not a short term disability issue and definitely was not caused by a work place incident.
A employer must give you up to 17 weeks off for maternity leave according to the Employment Standards Act, 2000. Even though this is unpaid time off you are still entitled to work benefits. Fathers may also take paternity leave after the baby is born.
you get maternity leave, for12-16 weeks depends on your employer and then you get 12 weeks of baby bonding time (fmla) total 28 weeks after that in the state of ca they can take your jobfrom you and you have no rights after that.
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.
It depends. If you notified your employer that you were taking maternity leave - were paid all during your maternity leave - and then laid off when you reported back for work ready to resume your job - you probably can be. The law doesn't guarantee that you will be given a job, only that you may resume your old position. If, while you were on maternity leave, your position was eliminated or the company downsized your former position may have been eliminated. If you can prove that you were laid off SOLELY BECAUSE OF your maternity leave, then you might be able to challenge it. A lot depends on your employment agreement or union contract and your state's labor laws.

The answer depends on several factors: Your employer may provide some paid maternity leave benefits. The vast majority of U.S. employers do not fund this benefit. Your state may have mandated short term disability which will pay a benefit for your maternity leave. Those states are CA, HI, NJ, NY and RI. You can purchase individual short term disability before you concieve, and your maternity leave would be a covered benefit. You also get coverage in case of pregnancy complications, delivery complications, accidents and illnesses.
