If I had an unemployment claim that was opened in 2009 and I filed claims until May 2011 almost finishing my Fed tiers would I qualify for a new claim now that I am unemployed again?
You should apply for unemployment. VA will continue paying unused benefits from your old claim if your current wages do not qualify for a new claim. Always apply for benefits when you lose a job. Let the VA make the determination on your eligibility.
