Unemployment benefits are payments made by the state or other authorized bodies to unemployed people. Benefits may be based on a compulsory para-governmental insurance system. Depending on the jurisdiction and the status of the person, those sums may be meager, covering only basic needs (thus a form of basic welfare), or may compensate the lost pay somewhat proportionally to the previous earned salary. They often are part of a larger social security scheme. Unemployment benefits are generally given only to those registering as unemployed, and often on conditions ensuring that they seek work and do not currently have a job. In some countries, a significant proportion of unemployment benefits are distributed by trade/labor unions, an arrangement known as the Ghent system.

If your pregnancy makes it physically impossible for you to work or physically impossible for you to look for work (including because your physician has ordered you to stay in bed all day or because your morning sickness is too severe to drive to work), then you cannot collect unemployment benefits, but may qualify for disability benefits. If you are physically capable of working, but all employers in your area are unwilling to hire you because they are discriminating against pregnant women (which is illegal, but that is another issue), then you continue to qualify for unemployment for the same amount of time as if you were not pregnant, or until the baby is born. Once the baby is born, you cannot collect… [cont.] Answered by StephenWeinstein - Sun Sep 28 13:30:55 2008 Can you still receive unemployment benefits in Louisiana while attending school/training? Q.
