A member of the military is allowed to retire only after completing a specified length of service, usually a minimum of 20 years. The benefits a retired military member receives is extensive.

Can you collect unemployment if you are not eligible for fmla?

First you need to apply for unemployment benefits. If you are otherwise eligible for benefits it will depend on the reason you were terminated from your last & sometimes your next to last employer. If you were let go because you exhausted your leave and no other leaves were available to you, then usually you will be eligible. The catch 22 is that if you are still unable to work due to this medical condition or unavailable for work due to caring for someone ill, then you can be disqualified for being unable or unavailable to work. To be eligible for benefits one must be able and available to seek and accept immediate full time work.
