The answer depends upon several variables:
If you are already pregnant when you start it may be more difficult to be covered under your company's short term disability policy - if they have one.
If you live in a state with mandated coverage such as CA, HI, NJ, NY, RI - you may be covered under the state plan even if you were already pregnant when you started.
If your employer provides voluntary short term disability options, you can enroll preconception, and your maternity leave will be a covered benefit.

What is a summary of Maternity Leave?
Maternity leave is when you leave a job for 1 year to give birth to a child and then care for them... A man gets 4 weeks of a job to help their wife/partner.
My job doesn't offer maternity leave to hourly employees im going to be leaving on maternity leave and was wondering if i would qualify for unemployement?
No, because you don't qualify for unemployment if you leave your job voluntarily.
Can you receive maternity leave on unemployement?
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.
Can you work while on maternity leave?

Maternity Leave in Texas but not elligible for FMLA?
FMLA requires your employer to hold your job open - for employers with more than 50 employees. If your employer lays you off while on maternity leave, you can apply for unemployment insurance. There is no requirement for paid leave at any company, regardless of company size. Short term disability insurance is the best way to create maternity leave income. It covers your normal maternity leave, and more.

Unemployment insurance is intended for people who lose their jobs. Many employers will hold jobs open during maternity leave - meaning you probably will be denied.

Am I Entitled to Maternity Leave if I Become Pregnant?
Some states have their own policies. Like California, New York, and a few others have paid family leave programs. So, it really depends on where you're at. Maternity leave in the US can be a bit tricky. There's actually no federal law guaranteeing paid maternity leave. But don't worry, there's the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) that can be a lifesaver. If you're lucky, your employer might offer paid maternity leave as part of their benefits package. But, again, it varies. So, my advice? Talk to your HR folks, read up on your company's policies, and see what's available to you. Good luck mamma🤗👶🍼
You work for a small less than 50 people private company in Texas and there is no maternity leave in your company are their any laws that will allow you to have maternity leave?
Your company cannot fire you because you are pregnant. You should hope they do though. Then you can sue for a substantial amount of money.Unless Texas has specific laws allowing maternity leave, or your company has to meet the federal Family Medical Leave Act provisions, there would be no requirement for them to hold your job or allow you to return after a maternity leave.You can finance your maternity leave by purchasing short term disability, and hospital indemnity insurance before you conceive. Both pay cash benefits when you deliver your child, and may replace most of your lost income.
