More details to this question:
Due to the coronavirus, my work load is limited to a day to a day and a half tops. My employer is telling me that we have to use our vacation time and then when that runs out then we are unpaid. I know that I can apply for unemployment but do I have to use my vacation time before applying?

What if you do not return to work? Don't you want to recover the leave you earned? Leave is also not wages or earnings although you MUST report it to DOL when you apply for unemployment. Apply for unemployment be honest and tell them what your employer is doing and let DOL figure it out. Good luck. I think everyone should prepare for the potential of not returning to the same job or employer.
