I am not totally sure what you are asking but you cannot collect unemployment if you are the one moving and cannot commute to the job. You can collect unemployment if it was the other way around and your company moved two states away and you did not want to move because courts will often look at that as being forced out of your job at no fault of your own. You will however still need to meet all the other requirements to qualify for unemployment.
If it is merely for your convenience and not one of the allowable "quits" as defined by your state's employment security department, no, you would not be eligible.

Not if your move was voluntary and not a requirement of your employment.

If you turned down the other job then it's doubtful. To collect unemployment you need to show willing to get back into work, turning down a job puts you in a bad position when it comes to claiming benefits. There's usually a time-out period before you can start claiming again.

Can you still collect your Ohio unemployment compensation after your company files bankruptcy?

If your company has been paying its unemployment taxes to the state all along, its being bankrupt won't hurt your unemployment benefits because those are paid to you from the state's pool of taxes collected from all the employers. Of course, you still have to qualify as any other claimant, as far as the state is concerned.


Can you collect NY unemployment for quitting with no notice?

Notice, no notice, doesn't really matter. In most cases you're under no actual legal obligation to give notice, it's just considered a polite thing to do. It could affect your recommendations, if ex-employers still gave recommendations these days, which as a general rule they don't. What is important as regards unemployment is that you quit. That means being unemployed was your choice, and the rule of thumb here is that that means you don't get to collect unemployment. You can check with your state's unemployment office. If you quit because your employer was deliberately making your job miserable in order to force you to quit (note that you'll have to prove this, and you'll have to prove that this wasn't just "my boss made me do my job and my job sucks" but "), then that's called "constructive dismissal" and it's usually treated as far as unemployment is concerned as if you were fired, so that you might be able to collect unemployment.
