What to do if my employer said that he no longer needed me but today I received the schedule for next week, however I have already filed for unemployment?
Is that going to affect the application? My employer took my key and safe code and sent me home saying I wasn’t needed but today I received an email from him saying here is the schedule for next week.

It may be a mistake--so first, clarify if they really are still employing you or not. The schedule could have gone out to you automatically, for example. If it is a mistake, it obviously does not effect anything.
If you are being scheduled, then you can't get unemployment for that week, since you would not *be* unemployed. You have not committed fraud or anything like that, since you were made aware of the schedule after appling; the worst thing is you would not be eligible yet for unemployment, but since UI is less than what you were earning, you'd be better off working, anyway.
