I was placed on bedrest due to pregnancy complications by my Dr. I applied for FMLA and was approved. I could not return after my FMLA ran out as I was still on complete bedrest and my job was terminated. Now that I'm able to return to work..... can I collect unemployment until I find a new job since I was terminated?
Thank you in advance for the help!

You can certainly apply but that isn't saying it will be granted. It is up to the state to determine if you are eligible.

I don't know about Kentucky, but, in my labor friendly state, if you are not able to work and/or not looking for work, you won't get unemployment.

Apply - you might get it but that will be up to your state's UI commission. We can't say for sure.
