In reply to Unemployment- Lost Job due to Depression, posted by Floss on October 6, 2008, at 20:47:29
My last company provided an illness recovery program that with the assistance of my pdoc verifying I was too ill to work, gave me 6 weeks paid leave. It was part of the insurance provided at the job. Other than that, it may depend on your state. In TX we have an a thing where either the employee or employer can terminate employment for any reason. The only way you get unemployment is if it was a layoff. Unfortunately its very easy to create what looks like legitimate reasons for dismissal. All they have to say is you were not up to par, not fast enough, not creative enough, etc. For an unethical person its really easy concoct something that's impossible to disprove.
Anyway, that's my experience, but you should check with your unemployment office. You just never know.
