Does anyone in GA know of any unemployment/short-term disability insurance for high-risk pregnancies?


I am 24 weeks pregnant with my second child and because of some complications and the fact that my first child was born premature, I am now considered to be high risk. I work full-time right now, but I am not going to be able to work much longer because I am supposed to stay off my feet per the doctor's orders. I think I have heard of programs or insurance for situations like this somewhere, but from reading on the state's department of labor website, it does not seem like I qualify for unemployment insurance because I am leaving my job by my choice.
Has anyone been in this situation before? Is there any program or service or insurance that might work for me? It is just not an option for my family right now to not have some sort of second income coming in. I really appreciate any advice you guys may have. I have always worked full-time and had money coming in, and this has me scared!
BTW- The company I have worked for for the past year only has 8 employees (so no FMLA)

Well, there aren't. You won't qualify for unemployment, because you're not ABLE to work, and it's too late to get disability coverage - disability maternity benefits are ONLY through the employer, and usually you have to carry it a full year BEFORE you get pregnant.

FMLA doesn't PAY you. It won't give you INCOME.

Insurance companies don't exchange a small amount for a certain payout. No one will write you a policy while you're pregnant.

Better start saving.

FMLA is unpaid leave, so even if your company offered it, this would not be a solution for you. The only other income you would qualify for is State Disability. Medicaid may offer you food stamps and insurance coverage if you qualify financially. Google your state and medicaid for more info.
Good luck!
