<prompt> Human: My wife is due in December with our second child yay and she was let go from her full time position today. One month of severance is less than the 6 to 8 weeks of maternity leave she would have gotten. No one is going to hire a 7 and a half month pregnant woman, and while I do pretty well we still need her income. Can she qualify for unemployment or are we SOL?Edit: I dont think she is being singled out or discriminated against, a lot of people from her office have been let go this month as a mass downsizing effort. Still a dick move to lay off a pregnant woman.  <response>: She would qualify for unemployment so long as she is actively looking for work and able to work. So she may not be eligible during the 6-ish weeks of recovery following the birth, but she should be eligible both before and after that.
