Whether or not your spouse is employed (or, indeed, whether or not you have a spouse) has no bearing on unemployment benefits in any location I'm familiar with. If you lost your job in a way that would allow you to collect unemployment, then you can collect unemployment. If you didn't, then you can't. It's pretty much that simple.
In my experience, the answer is "what the heck are you talking about?" Unemployment doesn't, to the best of my knowledge, allow you to "claim" a spouse. It's based on your income for some past period, and whether or not you have a spouse doesn't enter into it.

The only other reason your claim may be stopped is because you have reached the end of your benefit term, and your available compensation has expired.
What state (or country, if you're not in the US) are you referring to? In California, for example, the answer is either "no" or "what are you talking about" since there's no such thing as "dependents" on the unemployment claim form.

"Unemployment" and those who are not employed are two very different categories.
