From OPM.GOV: 1. Are employees entitled to unemployment compensation while on furlough? A. It is possible that furloughed employees may become eligible for unemployment compensation. The various State unemployment compensation requirements differ. Some States require a 1-week waiting period before an individual qualifies for payments. In general, the law of the State in which an employee’s last official duty station in Federal civilian service was located will be the State law that determines eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits. Agencies or employees should submit questions to the appropriate State (or the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands) office. The Department of Labor (DOL) website provides links to individual State offices at servicelocator.org/OWSLinks.asp.
