if I have to go on emergency maternity leave can I get unemployment?

@nati86, I'm not sure about Florida, but in California it falls under Disability, that's what I'm on

that's would be FMLA right? does it matter how long you been employed with the business or how much you get paid?

I work in retail not making much money I wonder if I'm qualified

@rebcamdot,

Fmla . Short term disability should kick in just bring the medical stuff that says you have to be off and take it to hr or your store manager here in Texas you get 60% of your pay

Even if it's not a lot something is better then nothing

@nati86, Yes, it qualifies under FMLA and it matters how long you've been working for the company, not how much you've been paid. I don't remember exactly but it has to be one full calendar year with a certain amount of hours worked. I worked in retail too, full time with the same company over a year, so I qualified. But there may be some different options for you under your state's laws

@nati86, Your HR rep should definitely be able to answer your questions and help you

OK thank you @rebcamdot

thank you @babybermea i will be looking into this tomorrow at work:0)
