You can FILE for unemployment benefits but they will be paid only for the period when you were available for work. For example, if you were hospitalized between 8/01/2014 and 08/15/2014, came home and felt you could return to work on 08/20/2014, your 'waiting period' would start on 08/20/2014 (you should obtain a return to work note from your doctor).

∙ 13y agoThere are too many factors missing in the question. If you qualify, as any other claimant, and are able to comply with all the requirements, and what the source of being hospitalized, the state you work in, etc. then maybe. Its best, however, to check with your own state's employment security office for clarification of its rules.

Do you have to file if you collected unemployment benefits?
Anytime that you need unemployment benefits you have to refile. When you refile you will be advised if you are eligible for benefits. Sometimes you will reopen an existing claim if it is within the same base period that you were collecting in previously, in which case your unemployment amount will remain the same. However, if you have exhausted your previous benefits and not eligible to open an extension, then the unemployment office will use the new base period, and based on the work that you have completed, you may or may not qualify. File asap, because many states will not allow you to backdate your unemployment to when you first became unemployed. You can always file, but you may not qualify.
