Your employer could pay you if they wanted to, but it's probably not a smart business move because it sets a precedent. Employment laws require employers to treat all employees equally. If you get paid while on pregnancy disability, all other employees would need to be paid if they were sick or hurt.

It depends -

On how long you've been unemployed, and why, and how your short term disability policy language reads. Check your policy for details.

If you are inquiring about state disability programs, check with your department of labor.
