I wouldn't think twice about trying to get benefits if I lost my job. Employers pay a tax on a your earnings so that if you lose your job (fired or laid off, not quit), you are eligible for benefits. I see nothing wrong with working most of your life, having something out of your control happen, like being laid off, and then getting temporary help until you can find something else. There was money put in on your behalf for many years.
