Can you collect unemployment benefits after getting laid off from a job but you are also self employed?

No, you get unemployment from your present job.
Another answer:Under some circumstances you can. For example, if you were employed in the last job a very short time, some states allow reaching back to the former job, especially if you had filed unemployment regarding them and you were still in your "benefit year" (normally 52 weeks after filing your claim). Other issues come into play so you have to check with the employment office in the state where you work.
