Subject: UI: recalled from furlough for a day?

Have you filed for UI? You have to check in weekly and say whether you "worked" and, separately, whether you are still "furloughed." There's nothing on the weekly form about whether you got paid.
I believe that in DC you are eligible even if working excepted, but that is not true in all states. And in DC, I don't know how to fill out the form for a week in which I was excepted 1 day.
Are you that literal? If you work without pay, you can decide if you are a volunteer or a slave
Pp about CA here - the CA website specifies that federal workers who are required to work may not apply - regardless of whether or not they are being paid.

In my state (CA) and my colleague’s state (MD), you can’t apply for unemployment if you’re required to work during shutdown. Even though neither of us are being paid, we have to work and can’t collect this benefit. (Even though we’d repay it later, it’s frustrating to have to work AND not be able to apply.)
