Apparently not. For unemployment, you have to be ready, willing, and able to go to work immediately and at a full time job. You are apparently still employed, but sick for a week. If you qualified for workers compensation, your first week is not paid (and you are out for only a week) plus it has to be job injury related, which you did not indicate that. See the Related Link below for more information.

Can you quit your job due to health issues and then file for unemployment?

Usually you have to have a really good reason to quit your job and unemployment frowns on that - if it is a health issue why don't you get you doctors notes/forms that you will need anyway and go on sick leave or sick benefits. <><> I California, for example, to receive unemployment you must be able, willing, ready and available to go to work. If you had to quit for health reasons, however, you might be eligible for California's equivalent Worker's Comp, called State Disability Insurance (SDI). You could be eligible for work or even non-work related injury, illness, or pregnancy/childbirth. But you could not claim both unemployment and SDI, there. Other states may have similar programs, but you can check out California's in the Related Link below.

Can you collect unemployment if you have to move to another state because a family member is sick?

Because each state makes their own determination on eligibility, some allow it while others do not. It's best to check with your own state's employment security office for clarification. Answer First you have to qualify for unemployment. I was able to move from Texas to Arizona. The amount was less since it was based on Arizona rules. You still have to carefully document your job hunting activities.
