Generally, Yes. It depends on the individual state as to criteria, such as the number of base weeks worked, the total wages earned in that period, etc. Check the Related Link below for your state and its requirements.

Check with your state's department of labor. But usually when a company does this they are trying to get you to quit and if you quit then you can not collect unemployment and they save money. Some state DOLs see through this and pay you the unemployment anyway.

Generally it offsets the unemployment compensation in the week paid.

Your benefits will be impacted more by how much you earn than by how many hours you work. I would guess, even at minimum wage, you would not be eligible for unemployment insurance benefits while working 30 hours per week.

Can you claim a week of unemployment in the state of Florida if you are sick?

Apparently not. For unemployment, you have to be ready, willing, and able to go to work immediately and at a full time job. You are apparently still employed, but sick for a week. If you qualified for workers compensation, your first week is not paid (and you are out for only a week) plus it has to be job injury related, which you did not indicate that. See the Related Link below for more information.
