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.

Never. FMLA's ONLY benefit is leave - time off from work while you are incapacitated. Only people with jobs could possible be on FMLA leave.

Unemployment is available only to people without jobs. So, no FMAL / unemployment crossover.
