My mother is having eye surgery and will be off one month can she collect unemployment?
alvie asked:
Mom will be having eye surgery and will be off one month . . . and yes she does work for Walmart. Can she collect unemployment while she is off during this time? I will be checking with EDD also, but some of you are more experienced than the people who work there and can get a better answer from my fellow ANSWERS than from them.

Much appreciated for any information.
Thanks in advance.

No, she will be off work, but not unemployed. Unless she has totally lost her job during that time, which I doubt. If she’s eligible to keep her job through FMLA, that’s the best bet.
