I believe any time you quit a job your not allowed unemployment, that's why it may be better to keep the job you have and look for another or work two jobs.
Unless there are some special circumstances, if you are fired because you refused to accept a new position, then no you cannot collect unemployment. By refusing you gave your employer just cause to let you go. It is not the same as if you were laid off because of downsizing. In New York, you are what is considered an "At Will" employee. That means that an employer doesn't need at reason to let you go but in this case you would have given them one. Take the demotion (and i assume lesser pay) and start your hunt for a new job. At least this way you'll have money coming in.
Yes, it is possible. When your income is reduced from what your hiring was agreed to, you can be eligible for partial unemployment benefits. What needs to be determined by the state is whether the reason for the demotion disqualifies you.
Each state has it's own criteria for determining eligibility, but changing titles or responsibilities while still being paid the same is not generally considered cause for unemployment. Check with your unemployment office to determine their rules for eligibility
In explaining a demotion, do not use the terms demotion or demoted. It is better to say reduced role. Focus on past experiences and how those experiences will help in a future higher position.

In this current tough economy, a demotion is better than losing your job all together. After 10 years as the company manager, it was tough for him to accept the domotion back to the sales floor.
Synonyms of elevation are flat, demotion, depression, and lowness.
Demotion, it can happen, but it's a rare occurrence. Demotion of a Supervisor is a big deal and must be considered long and hard before it actually happens in most cases. Sometimes, a Supervisor will request their own demotion due to personal reasons or availability issues, or even because of a disagreement that might arise. Involuntary demotions would only occur if the Supervisor in question made a lot of questionable contributions (or, in this case, non-contributions) to WikiAnswers that all violated our Terms of Use. A lot must be considered before an involuntary demotion would occur.
