Unemployment Question

Before anyone says it i know i am an idiot. Since november ive been working for this small nonprofit as an independent contractor (except i don’t actually have a contract ). Today my shit boss told me and my other coworker that she can only afford one of us going forward bc the COVID grant she was paying us out of ran out in june.

Would I be able to file for unemployment and receive it? Thanks.
