would i be able to claim unemployment being that i just started here in July?

unemployed_personQ) i just started working for a local flooring company in mid july of 2015. The owner did not tell me upon hiring me that he was going through a divorce and that he had financial issues. I keep being told from all his builder accounts that he keeps messing up on jobs with them and they are very close to closing their accounts with him. Meaning he will lose business and not have any money coming in. This can lead to the possibility of me losing my job. If this situation does happen would i be able to claim unemployment being that i just started here in July? I work full time 40 hours a week.
