This is not a government site, and all I can find is this
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/790870/SF-Unemployment-Compensation-for-Federal-Employees-UCFE

I believe you need to contact your last federal employer and ask them for the forms.

I do not work for the government, so please look into this closer
This all depends (you should start reducing your bills as much as possible), but here is some information on that
Can I collect unemployment benefits if I’m receiving Social Security payments? –Anthony, San Antonio, Texas
 
A: The short answer is “yes,” in 46 states. Not so many years ago, a federal law required that states offset unemployment compensation benefits in part, or in full, for individuals receiving Social Security retirement payments. A subsequent federal law then permitted states to decide on such “Social Security offsets” through legislation—and thank goodness they did.
 
Today, only three states, Illinois, Louisiana, and Utah, retain the “offset” rule. South Dakota has repealed the rule but not yet implemented the change. In these states, unemployment compensation benefits are reduced by 50 percent of your Social Security payment. This can reduce unemployment benefits to near zero for most workers.
 
In 2002, 22 states still had offset rules, with five of those requiring a 100 percent offset. That meant that if you received Social Security retirement payments and lost your job, you received no unemployment compensation. With the combined efforts of major advocacy groups, including the National Employment Law Project and AARP, most offset laws have been repealed.
 
“In 2002, we could not have foreseen how radically the economy would change within a few years,” said Clare Hushbeck, who led the advocacy effort for AARP. “The drive to repeal unemployment compensation offsets permits countless Social Security recipients to benefit from employer-paid unemployment benefits free of offsets and allowing them a stronger safety net in the event of job loss.”

		<description>If I have to start tapping into my investment money to survive, will that effect my unemployment?  What if I go on Social Security?  Will ss effect my unemployment benefits?  I need to know relatively soon, as my savings are almost gone.  I can not pay my bills with unemployment alone.  I need to subsidize to survive.  Please respond soon.  thanks Lynda</description>
