Best Answer

First you need to apply for unemployment benefits. If you are otherwise eligible for benefits it will depend on the reason you were terminated from your last & sometimes your next to last employer. If you were let go because you exhausted your leave and no other leaves were available to you, then usually you will be eligible. The catch 22 is that if you are still unable to work due to this medical condition or unavailable for work due to caring for someone ill, then you can be disqualified for being unable or unavailable to work. To be eligible for benefits one must be able and available to seek and accept immediate full time work.

Can you file unemployment while on fmla?

If you are receiving FMLA benefits, you are still employed. Unemployment is for people that are not employed, therefore you would not be eligible for benefits. You would have to wait until your FMLA and any other possible leave is exhausted before applying for unemployment. However, if you are still not able to work after your benefits are exhausted or caring for someone and not available to work, then you could be denied based on those factors. Correct. FMLA leaev is only for those still emepeloyed, but totally incapacitated from working by their med condition or the relative's condition. Folks totally incapacitated from working can never get unemployment benefits.
