You may be eligible for unemployment benefits: it depends on how much you have earned during four of the previous five quarters of employment-- (i.e. you must have worked previously; if this is your first job, you would not be eligible). And not only whether you are eligible, but how much you are eligible for, depends on how much you earned during that period. The fact that you were terminated during probation is irrelevant--probation has no effect on eligibility or amount. Since there is no cost to apply (other than the "time cost" of the time you spend doing it) and no penalty to applying and being denied, the best thing to do is to apply, and see if and what you are given.
