Can you collect unemployment for maternity leave in Ohio?

In Ohio, you cannot collect unemployment benefits specifically for maternity leave, as unemployment insurance is intended for individuals who are unemployed through no fault of their own. However, you may be eligible for disability benefits if you are unable to work due to pregnancy-related conditions. Additionally, some employers may offer paid maternity leave or short-term disability insurance that could provide income during your time off. It’s best to check with your employer and the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services for specific options available to you.
