I would ask your employer if it's possible to receive unemployment benefits, and whether it would jeopardize your employment. That's the only way you will find out is by asking your employer directly rather than guess or assume. And also research unemployment eligibility in your state. It is my understanding that the government determines whether you are eligible. The employer has to contribute financially to unemployment benefits, but again, I would research eligibility criteria and other details for your own state because it varies per state in the U.S.
