If I get laid off for not returning to the office, would I be eligible for unemployment pay?

There’s starting to be talk of recalling remote workers to the office, after 2+ years of remote work. I think if I was forced to choose between quitting and going back to the office, I would quit. That’d be a though choice though, as going without income for at least a month or two would be scary. Ideally though, if I can’t be remote with this company anymore, I’d like to be laid off and get unemployment to tide me over as I look for a new job. Anyone have any insight?
