Normally you would be eligible to file in most states for being laid off.... the problem you will find possibly is the amount of money you get paid especially if you had no employment before this position for quit sometime. It is always good to check out your states unemployment web page.

I think you'll have to check both with your state law and your employer to figure out. It can vary from place to place and company to company what their policies are. Good luck and hope you find something new soon!
