If you have a "current job", then no, you are not eligible for unemployment benefits. If you mean to say your most recent job was only for one year's tenure, then this has little effect as well, other than in areas where you must have worked for a minimum amount of time (sometimes a number of months, sometimes at least one year's total work).

In most places, you qualify for unemployment under three conditions:

  1. You do not have an income at the moment. This is fairly simple, since you can't be unemployed if you have a job.
  2. You are usually required to be actively seeking work. This includes where you may need to be registered with an official job seeking operation, or simply provide progress reports and accompanying evidence you are out looking (e.g. application forms and letters of reply, interview invitations, and correspondence of the like).
  3. You may have to have worked a minimum amount of time, whether it is a cumulative time over your life or in one block, and how long ago it could have been (e.g. you had to have worked 3 months of the last 6, or 6 months of the last 2 years, etc.).

Other than this, you will need to speak to the ministry or similar government department that deals with the area of unemployment and of benefits/compensation.

Can you collect unemployment from North Carolina if you moved from California?

Strictly speaking, no. If you haven't worked and become eligible for benefits from North Carolina, you can only receive them from California, providing you were eligible back there. What you can do, however, again if you had qualified, is to apply through the North Carolina office to receive them from the "liable state" (CA) through the interstate unemployment program.
