Assuming that you otherwise qualify, it shouldn't be a problem.

You need to file quickly for benefits. If you have been off for a really long period of time, you may not have enough wages in the counted quarters to qualify for benefits. You must, in order to qualify for unemployment, have covered wages in the previous 18 months to two years. Before that, it doesn't matter if you have worked steadily since you were a child, it is only based on those wages earned in the last covered quarters. If you are not monetarily eligible, nothing else matters, you can't get unemployment benefits.

When you file, you will have to submit a medical statement showing that you have now been fully released by your doctor to return to full time work (no restrictions) but that when you presented this to your employer, they said they do not have work available for you right now. Unemployment will contact your employer and verify this is the case.

If these conditions are met, (monetary eligibility, fully released by your doctor and confirmation that your employer does not have work available for you right now) then no, you should not have any problem qualifying for and receiving unemployment benefits. If they call you back, you cannot refuse to return to work without stopping your benefits.

The base period for a claim filed now is July 2009 through June 2010.

To establish a valid claim, you must have earned at least (1) $1300 in one quarter of your base period, or (2) at least $900 in your
highest quarter and total base period earnings of 1.25 times your
high quarter earnings. A claim is invalid when there are not enough earnings to establish a claim
