Answer 1

If you were part time - No.
If you did not work enough days in a year - No.
Best bet for you appears to be welfare.
And you get medical.

Answer 2

Check the Pennsylvania Department of Labor website for information on filing unemployment claims. Generally speaking, if you are fired from a job for 'cause' such as excessing absences, then you will not be eligible. There are other qualifications that need to be met, such as how many hours you worked over the past few quarters.

There is an appeal process if you are denied unemployment, but it takes time, and there is no guarantee that you will get the benefits.

While you are on the PA DoL page, check for the resources they have available for job seekers. This may be your chance to get a better job, so keep a bright outlook, and see what you can do to make this situation a positive one.
