State Disability Insurance in California?
I was laid off in December (company went under) and in March I got pregnant. I have not found a permanent job and at this point am not going to try - who's going to hire a pregnant woman, right? I am receiving unemployment which will be running out in a few weeks and I'm thinking about working for a temp agency until the baby is born to bring in some money. Does anyone know if I am working temp can I collect State Disability Insurance once the doctor tells me no more working? I'm really pissed...worked all those years and now I may not be able to collect through no fault of my own. Any help is appreciated. I think if I'm not working at all I can't collect but not sure. Thanks.

- I believe you can collect since you paid in to it. You would also be eligible to "family leave" once the baby is born. Give them a call to clarify. My daughter had this happen to her & still received the benefits. Unemployement, Maternity & Family leave.
