Absolutely, in fact that is the reason unemployment was created, to assist those who had lost their job due to closings (FDR came up with the idea during the Great Depression, when everyone was losing jobs because of businesses closing).
The company has already paid for it anyway. When they took the taxes out of your check, they took part of your money to cover those taxes and paid some of it themselves. So everytime you got a check from them your stored unemployment was added onto.
Though I should remind you you had to work for the company at least a year to get that assistance.

You still can collect unemployment. Unemployment is for situations like yours. If you quit that would be another story. Depending on how long you were there, and if you worked for other companies in a short time span, they might be all obligated to kicking in for you until you find a new job or your benefits elapse.

Absolutely. A few years ago, I lost my job due to the company going through a tough time. Although they didn't close, they had to lay off most the office staff. One thing you need to be aware of is that if the company gives you any kind of severance pay, the unemployment department will take it into consideration, and it may delay your benefits.

Yes. In my state, the same thing happened to me. And since it was a major closing, I also qualified for "dislocated worker" status which entitles me to some retraining benefits. And if a company trains me in a new job, because of this status, they will be reimbursed for a portion of that training.
You are losing your job through no fault of your own, so you should definetly qualify.As long as you have worked for 6 to 18 months prior, you should have no problem.

Absolutely. Signing up for, and collecting, unemployment can be a hassle, but it's worth it. Also, check to see if you are entitled to severance pay from your employer.

Yes. If you know your termination date, contact your Unemployment Office and begin the process.
