My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: new York
I am a teacher who is on unpaid leave after having a baby last January.
I do plan to return to work in September, however, someone recently mentioned that I may have been eligible to collect UI benefits while on leave. I recently started to look into this but am coming up short. On the Q&A on the NYS UI website, it didn't specifically say whether I would be eligible or not. Any help would be appreciated.
