Can you get unemployment if you take a voluntary layoff?

You can get unemployment benefits, however be very careful. I did this and the employer came back on me later , after I specifically asked them f i could draw unemployment benefits , and they said yes. They came back a year later and said I quit, which is a complete lie. Can you trust your employer to be honest? I was not able to with Hargers Acoustics.

They were fine with it at the time , now they have changed their story and decided to lie to the unemployment law judge. Ihave appealed, however if I lose the appeal I may be required to pay it back. This really sucks because I would never filed in the first place had the company been honest with me. So now I lose my house and file bankruptcy because they have changed their mind and decided to lie about the whole thing. Does this seem fair? Be very careful if you cant trust the employer.
