my ability to collect unemployment. When there's a furlough for "lack of work", as is my furlough ("officially"), unemployment kicks in after a week waiting period. It's unclear whether the state will separate my furlough from the shut-down furlough. When a furlough is budget-related, the state is not obligated to pay unemployment.
