The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees with job-protected leave for certain family and medical reasons. Benefits include the ability to take time off for personal or family health needs without risking job loss, continuation of health insurance coverage during leave, and the opportunity to balance work and personal responsibilities.

Can you file unemployment while on fmla?

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.
