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.

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).

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.

It's essential to check your employer's specific policies and the terms of your 401(k) plan for any restrictions. Additionally, you may consider making catch-up contributions later if you miss any payments during your leave.
