What is the name of your state?NC 
Here is my situation, I have worked for one year, for a company owned by a corporation. My boss has recently informed me and the other employees that our workplace has been sold, meaning that it will no longer be corporately operated, but privately operated. In other words, our office was a small office and was not doing as well as other offices in larger cities. My manager will lose his job and so may other employees as this new owner says he is going to "lean down the office" (there are only 5 employees now.) Here is my problem, I am 5 mos. pregnant. Upon transition, I will lose my short-term disability and of course maternity leave under FMLA. This change will take place in three weeks, and I am wondering if I am eligible under NC state law to draw unemployment. Can I draw unemployment from the company that I worked for, since my job will no longer exist thru that company, and it is under no fault of my own. I am not being lazy, it is just that I am not in any position to bid for any position. I am getting bigger, and I don't feel like playing "Survivor" for an $8.00 an hour job when I can be paid the same amount for unemployment benefits.
