Your former employer is responsible for paying a portion of your unemployment. It's really not fair to them to make them keep paying you even though they fired you for being a lousy employee.

So, probably not; you might want to contact the unemployment office anyway just to make sure. In general, if you were terminated "for cause" (meaning: you got fired because of something you did, like not show up for work), you're much less likely to be able to collect unemployment than if you were "laid off".
