Is it true you cannot collect unemployment if you're pregnant?

Asked by jca (36062points) June 27th, 2011

My coworker told me she heard you cannot collect unemployment if you’re pregnant. If you’re on unemployment, she said it gets terminated.

I am not planning to get pregnant, but am curious about this question. I googled it and did not find an answer. I told her it seems like it would be a violation of your civil liberties, but then again, as someone who works for the government, I know the government is not always logical.

Does being pregnant or getting pregnant affect your ability to collect or continue collecting unemployment.
