FAQ
You may be able to get unemployment benefits in Oregon if you're suspended or fired from work, but it depends on why your employer fired you. You can't get benefits if your employer fired you for misconduct, like stealing from your job or missing a lot of work without a good reason.
I would start the planning and documenting part earlier than 34 weeks, since it's not unusual at all to give birth a few weeks prior to your due date. I suggest you assume you may give birth at 37 or 38 weeks, and try to be ready for the handoff of your work tasks at that time.
You may be denied benefits if you: Were fired because you violated a company policy, rule or procedure, such as absenteeism or insubordination. Quit your job without good cause, such as a compelling personal reason.
The following is a list of some common reasons for denial: Voluntarily leaving work without good cause. Being discharged for misconduct connected with work. Not being able to work or available for work. Refusing an offer of suitable work. Knowingly making false statements to obtain benefit payments.
If you choose not to work because you are pregnant, you cannot receive unemployment compensation. However, if your company fires you because of your pregnancy (and you are “able and available” for work), you can receive unemployment compensation.
So state laws vary, but generally, although you are not working while on medical leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, or FMLA, you are still employed and ineligible for unemployment benefits. Unemployment insurance is targeted to those who have lost their jobs.
Full-time employees: Employees who work a regular schedule of 20 or more hours per week are eligible after 26 consecutive weeks of employment. Part-time employees: Employees who work a regular schedule of less than 20 hours per week are eligible after working 175 days, which do not need to be consecutive.
However, if your company fires you because of your pregnancy (and you are “able and available” for work), you can receive unemployment compensation. You can continue to receive your unemployment compensation benefits after the child is born if you are able and available to work.
Contact the US Department of Labor: You can also reach out to the Wage and Hour Division of the US Department of Labor and explain your situation. They can provide guidance on your rights under the FMLA and may investigate the matter if necessary. You can also bring a legal claim for violation of FMLA laws.
