In most cases federal employees cannot collect unemloyment. The reason for this that they cannot be fired at will. Due to the nature of their labor agreement they can only be fired for gross neglect of job responsibilties which would void any unemployment claim. If an employee of the federal government is laid off or their job is eliminated they may qualify for unemployment based on the requirements in their state.
Fed employees are employed at will, and can be fired at will while on probation and fired for cause after probation. ALmost no fed employees have labor agreements. Labor agreement cannot void statutes about unemployment - no contract can violate a statute. No one who retires qualifies for uI benefits, RESERVED for folks actively seeking employment, which no retiree does.
