I was recently laid off from my job while pregnant, and I'm feeling overwhelmed about what to do next. I live in New Jersey and I know I can receive six months of unemployment benefits, but they will run out right around my due date. I'm unsure how to navigate this situation since I won't be able to work after giving birth. I've been advised to file for unemployment and look into state services for additional assistance. Some comments suggested I should try to save as much as possible and focus on enjoying my baby, while others encouraged me to start job hunting now. They mentioned that I don't have to disclose my pregnancy during interviews, especially for remote positions, which could help keep things under wraps until I'm settled. It's a tough spot to be in, but I know I have to figure this out.
