It does not matter what state you live in since the FMLA is a Federal law. But you need to have worked for the requisite period of time (i.e. one year), have a qualifying medical condition (too many types to name in this answer), and your employer must be a covered employer (i.e. have at least 50 employees in a 75 mile radius and the employer must affect interstate commerce ... which virtually any employer does).

If an employee is on approved FMLA and retires does the FMLA continue or do they fall under COBRA?

No one "files for" FMLA with some agency - it is a unilateral grant from the employer. Once the employer has enough info to know whether the employee qualifies or does not qualify for FMLA, the employer MUST issue a letter announcing whether it it granting or denying FMLA. EMployees need not request FMLA to get it, but must comply with employer demands for medical certification.

Is fmla only a one time thing once the 12 weeks are used?
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) generally allows eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a 12-month period for certain family and medical reasons. However, once the 12 weeks are used, employees cannot use FMLA leave again until the next 12-month period begins, unless they qualify for additional leave under different circumstances. Employers may also have policies that provide additional leave options beyond FMLA.
