Boss- “And you aren’t going to get unemployment as I have been documenting.”

Documenting what? I work in IT. Been here for many, many years. I have one (stupid) write up in my file. Never had any problems with attendance or being late. Never pissed off any of our clients, broke anything, erased anything, or accidentally rebooted a server at noon. But we did go from dozens of clients down to only a few. And the few we have left, the work has changed from admin work to programming. And I am NOT a programmer. So to me that sounds like a simple economic layoff. The work dried up, then what was left changed to work that I have zero training in. But the boss dropped that wonderful line on my yesterday. Is that really how it goes? I've never been in a situation like this, or dealt with unemployment, so I don't know. Any advice?
