Can 'at will employees' get unemployment?
Yes. The term "at will" employer, simply means that an employer is granting you employment for no guaranteed amount of time, and may let you go at will without any reason at all. This is the most common form of employment. Unemployment will be determined by the length of time you were employed, and the reason that you are no longer employed. If you were fired for things such as stealing, absenteeism, lying on an application, or just simply quit... Chances are you will NOT qualify for unemployment.
Can you claim unemployment from your previous employer if you have accepted a new job and want to quit it?
Maybe, maybe not. Employment law is just not that simple. There is no way to completely answer your question without more information regarding your location, the length of time spent with each employer, the reason for termination of employment with your previous employer, and the reason you want to quit your new job. You need to tell an attorney your entire situation to get an accurate answer.

Can employer fire you while you are out on medical leave having surgery and can that employer then tell unemployment that you quit so you cannot collect unemployment compensation?
If you are employed "at-will," which most people who work without employment contracts are, then yes, your employer can fire you at any time, for any reason. Your only recourse, aside from unemployment benefits, would be a possibility of lawsuit if your employer wrongfully terminated you, such as on the basis of disability discrimination.The employer "can" also tell the unemployment insurance office that you quit. It is in their best financial interest to prevent you from successfully claiming unemployment benefits, and in a hostile situation such as this, the employer will often lie and distort facts in order to make it appear that you either quit voluntarily, or were fired for misconduct--in other words, for something that was your fault, not theirs.However, if you did not quit, you can fight their denial and still get unemployment benefits. You'll need to gather all documentation regarding your medical leave, as well as educate yourself about your employer's claim (Why did they say you quit? What is their evidence?) and your best arguments against it. Employers in general don't have great track records winning against employees in unemployment claims when it comes to medical issues...and they are probably hoping that you won't know how to fight it, and will just give up.
