Yes, for the period of time that you're UNABLE to work. Most short term disability policies pay a six week benefit for a vaginal delivery, and an eight week benefit for a c-section delivery, less the elimination period. Coverage and policy language varies by state. Five states have statutory short term disability: California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island.
CA Labor Code 2626.

You can collect unemployment after state disability if you are healthy enough to return to work, and your employer terminated your employment during your disability. The termination can not be related to your job performance.
There are four steps to apply for disability insurance in Ontario. First, one must have a medical provider fill out a medical form that describes their disability in detail. Second, one must sign a consent form that allows the government to collect information about their medical history. Third, one must fill out a form that describes in their own words how their disability impacts their life and ability to work. Finally, one must return the package to the Disability Adjudication Unit who will make a decision about the application.
Essentially private DI insurance ends when you are eligible to return back to work.
ALL of the other sources of worldwide income that you may be receiving or could be receiving that is NOT for your DISABILITY. If you are receiving social security disability insurance payments for your disability then you are receiving A TYPE OF DISABILITY INCOME. Or some other company paid or privately paid premiums of DISABILITY INSURANCE PAYMENTS that you could be receiving for your disability. It is possible for some of the amounts of the above types of disability payment could also become taxable income to you on your 1040 federal income tax return.
Some disability insurance policies include a rehabilitation benefit that pays to re-train or for rehabilitation programs to help you find a different job based on your current abilities.
You should receive a year end tax form from the insurance company, since it is income. Call them to make certain.
It is unclear what you are asking, but I will do my best. If you are asking whether you can buy a car with your disability payments (from a private insurer, Social Security Disability, or otherwise), yes. Keep in mind, though that that may leave you short for other needs, but it is business decision for you to make. The payer of the disability benefits has no obligation to buy a car for you under ordinary circumstances. It would be the very odd situation that would require a disability payer to do so. Nonetheless, a private insurer may consider doing so as a means of facilitating your return to work and thereby no longer qualifying for disability. In the long run, it may be cheaper for it to go "out of policy" and do this, than paying benefits for a very long time. The contract controls what you can collect under a private policy; statutes control what you can collect under public sources of disability, such as Social Security Disability.
Because the disability and lack of available work were no fault of your own should be no reason you would not be eligible for unemployment, on those issues.
Yes. If the employer paid the premiums for the disability insurance payments that you are receiving. And you will have some taxable income that you will have to report on your 1040 federal income tax return.

yes
Not necessarily. This can be confusing for many. The key is who paid the premium for the disability insurance in the first place. If you pay for your own disability insurance plan completely then it may not be taxable. First, if your premium for disability insurance is paid by your employer, then it is always taxable. If you pay the premiums through a cafeteria plan, section 125 plan or such tax qualified plan where the premium is paid for with before tax money then the disability benefits are always taxable. If an only if you pay the premiums yourself by purchasing a private disability income policy and you pay the premiums with after tax money then the benefits are not taxable at all. I hope this helps you. A key tell all is if you recieve a 1099 form for your benefits for disability, then you will have to report the income on your tax return and pay taxes on the benefit. The IRS gets copies of all forms that you get and they match them up to make sur you paid tax on everything you were supposed to pay tax on.
