How do you know if you’re eligible for unemployment?

Hi, my fiancé just found out he'll be losing his job at the end of this week. The company he's worked for for about 8 months now (after leaving the job he'd worked since he was 17 to start an apprenticeship) just let him know their contracts in our area were up and his only options were to take a traveling position with them where he'd relocate every few months as they get new work (generously paid, but not his cup of tea) or quit. I'm advising him not to sign anything or submit any form of resignation but I'm not sure where the line is drawn when they did offer him an opportunity to stay with the company. We live in KY if thar helps, but state of employment is OH. I know the job market's not as great right now as it was when he got this job…

I know the job market's not as great right now as it was when he got this job and I'm concerned about how we're going to manage this unforseen loss of income without UI if his unemployment is longer-term. I don't know anyone irl who has been through this so I guess I'm just not sure who to ask.
