No, and whatever you do, do not call them or log in to the UI system from Another Country, you will be caught and may be charged with fraud, which means you will be a fugitive and never be able to come back. If you do come back you will be arrested at the airport and taken straight to jail, unemployment fraud is a felony. If you have already done this call them and tell them it was a mistake and that you did not know, its your only hope, because one day IT WILL catch up to you and it could ruin your life.

Is it legal to collect unemployment benefits while you are in jail in Ohio?

Can you collect unemployment with an 'Other Than Honorable' discharge in California?
I presume that you mean that you wish to collect unemployment because you were involuntarily separated from the military. Discharge from the military, for any reason, does not qualify one for unemployment benefits in California (and, I'm pretty sure, nowhere else, either). Unemployment is a civilian system. Now, you may qualify for assistance from programs under the various "Welfare" laws if you are unable to find a new job quickly. Disability claims must be filed through the Military, however. If the question involves the impact that a OTH or BCD might have on future eligibility for unemployment in the civilian world (i.e. you took a civilian job, then were laid off): it is irrelevant. OTH/BCD and similar have no legal bearing in the civilian world - they will follow you around when applying for various military benefits and things, but they do not become part of your civilian legal record. That is, it's not like they're treated as a felony or other crime. They can't be used against you in the civilian legal or ordinary government benefits areas.
IF you are a New York State resident and your domestic partner takes a job up in Canada can you continue to collect unemployment while you look for work in Canada?
You can continue to receive disability benefits for as long as: (1) you are looking for work; and, (2) your legal residence is in New York state, providing you meet all the other eligibility criteria. You cannot receive unemployment benefits from New York State during weeks when you are living in Canada.
Can you collect NY unemployment for quitting with no notice?
Notice, no notice, doesn't really matter. In most cases you're under no actual legal obligation to give notice, it's just considered a polite thing to do. It could affect your recommendations, if ex-employers still gave recommendations these days, which as a general rule they don't. What is important as regards unemployment is that you quit. That means being unemployed was your choice, and the rule of thumb here is that that means you don't get to collect unemployment. You can check with your state's unemployment office. If you quit because your employer was deliberately making your job miserable in order to force you to quit (note that you'll have to prove this, and you'll have to prove that this wasn't just "my boss made me do my job and my job sucks" but "), then that's called "constructive dismissal" and it's usually treated as far as unemployment is concerned as if you were fired, so that you might be able to collect unemployment.
