unemployment?

Can you get unemployment as a SAHM?

I worked and paid into it for 10 years before I'm leaving my job to stay home.  

That's probably a stupid question...please don't bash me. Just new to the whole not working game. :) Thanks!!

    Only if you get fired or laid off.

    If you quit your job, no.  I think there are a few loop holes that allow you to claim, but I think that involves being forced to quit because you are required to move, or something along those lines.

    But if you are leaving your job to be a SAHM, no.

    No. As far as I know you have to be available for and maybe even actively searching for work to claim.

    No, my husband's previous position was cut due to budget constraints and he had to call in weekly and state that he was willing and able to work etc.  He had to go to job finding seminars like someone else said too....

    Only if you get fired. I got fired at 7.5 months pregnant with my DS and was able to collect. I wish stay at home moms could get paid we deserve it!

    No, you wouldn't qualify.

    No if you willingly leave your not allowed to. Your company can lay you off but that's pretty illegal or I would think.

    It's not illegal. I was laid off when I was 8 months pregnant with DS. The insurance company I worked for closed all of it's satellite offices. I collected unemployment. I was required to do all of the things above, but they required a statement from my OB saying what what would be the last day I would physically be able to work. 

    I was not paid from that day on, until I provided a medical release saying I could return to work.
