"There are certain factors that can mean that you would be less likely to be eligible for unemployment benefits. These factors will not always stop people for obtaining unemployment benefits, however, they will increase your chances of not being eligible should any of them apply to you:
A) Voluntary Separation. If you were fired by your last employer, or you lost your job due to some kind of disciplinary matter, then you may not qualify for unemployment benefits. Seeing as, in this particular case, you were laid off due to the current economic climate, you should ok for passing this stage, however, if you wish to learn more, then I recommend contacting you local unemployment office. This may be part of your state/county council.
B) Ability of work. You must be willing and physically able to work. You must also be able to prove that you are actively seeking work. If for some medical reason you cannot work, then you must apply for 'disability insurance instead' as unemployment benefits will not cover you if this is the case.
C) Wage Credits. You must have earned wages during the unemployment base period that immediately proceeds the period that you file unemployment for. The unemployment base periods are as follows: Jan-Feb-Mar, Apr-May-Jun, Jul-Aug-Sep, and Oct-Nov-Dec. The image at fileunemployment.org/base-period-unemployment shows that if you file your claim in July, August or September of this year, then the base period that you must show you earned wages in is April through to June of the same year.
These are the main reasons why you would be rejected from having unemployment benefits and as, from your description, you seem to have none of these factors that could endanger your application, I would judge that you could file for unemployment, and you shouldn't be rejected for any of the reasons I have outlined above.
