Navigating Unemployment Claims While Preparing for Baby: Seeking Advice

I am currently 38 weeks pregnant and trying to navigate my unemployment claim. I've been collecting unemployment benefits since April, but I'm aware that I won't be able to continue once I give birth until my doctor clears me. I have a few questions for anyone who has been in a similar situation. First, is there a specific waiting period before my payments can resume after giving birth, or is it just based on when my doctor says I can return to work? Second, should I keep filling out my weekly claims and just select 'no' when asked if I'm physically able to work? If I do need to continue filing weekly claims, do I still have to apply for jobs and meet work requirements even though I won't be able to work and won't be getting paid? If I shouldn't be submitting weekly claims, do I need to call someone to notify them? Will my claim go inactive, and if so, what is the process to reactivate it? I appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!
