Most states require you to work full time 32-40 hours per week for six months. Then, you can have unemployment checks. You need to phone your unemployment agency and find out what the qualifications are, in your area.
You can draw unemployment benefits if you were fired or laid off.
It all depends on how and why you were laid off, the length of total time worked and income in the base period, and how soon you file your claim. Check with EDD.
There is a difference between laid off or layed off. In relation to being dismissed from work, the correct phrase to use is laid off. Layed off actually has no grammatical meaning.
laid off
My suggestion is to check with your state unemployment office. They have access to many resources for those who have been laid off.
"laid off"

The past tense of lay is laid.

If you are fired, you are parting ways with your employer for good. Being fired often implies that you have done something wrong or have not performed as required. If you are laid off, you might, in theory, be called back to work by your employer at some future time if business picks up. Being laid off can imply that you were let go through no fault of your own, but only because business conditions were bad for your employer.
Made redundant. 'He was laid off by the company.'
