Generally, the answer is no.
The reason is because in order to claim Unemployment Benefits, you must be seeking work - and obviously if you are in the hospital or recovering from surgery you would not be doing that.
You may be able to file for Disability insurance.

∙ 13y agoNo. You must be able to work to qualify for benefits. HOWEVER, if you're not working because of injury or illness suffered as a result of your employment, you probably qualify for Workers Comp. There are other programs in each state that you could contact about your situation.

∙ 13y agoFirst, if your surgery was due in any part to working conditions, you may be eligible for Worker's Comp. Second, if you are away from work temporarily, you are not unemployed as you still have a job. And lastly if your surgery makes you incapable to hold down a job, you wouldn't qualify for benefits because you have to be ready, willing, able and constantly looking for full time employment, which your condition would prevent you from doing.

∙ 9y agoNo, to draw unemployment you must have lost your job (not quit it) and be actively looking every day for a new job.
What you describe meets neither of these conditions: you still have the job and while having surgery and recovering it will be impossible to look for a new job.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoIt depends. If the surgery was work related, you might be eligible for Workers' Comp. Otherwise, you're still employed and are not eligible.

Can you draw unemployment while you student teach?
Usually, in order to draw unemployment, you have to be actively looking for work, and be able to work should you find any. Your student teaching load probably would keep you from being able to work, and your status as a student is just icing on the "no unemployment for you" cake. Substitute teachers often are allowed to draw unemployment for days when they don't work, on the grounds that they're actually available to work, it's just that no one needed a substitute that day. But student teachers... no. You could try contacting your local unemployment office to verify; worst case is they make fun of you.
