Am I entitled to unemployment benefits?

To keep it short & simple, I was working through a contract agency and assigned to a large company. I was fully remote and honestly began to hate the monotony. I had intended to quit during the last week of October as I had heard of other opportunities I wanted to pursue. However, but before then, on 10/25, the agency called and notified me and told me my contract would be ending on 11/3. I told them “if possible, let’s just end it now” so that it would allow me more time to seek out said opportunities. During the unemployment application, it asked for the reason of unemployment. The two closest reasons are “quit” or “laid off” and I could see how these circumstances fall under both. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Please share your thoughts. Thanks in advance. the contract agency was based in NJ, I live…
