Can a TN holder laid off receive UI without leaving US?

Entering on B2 under the pretence of going on vaction, and then looking for work woul be wrong.

Filing for B2 to wrap up affairs and then finding a job is quite alright.

Since you are marying a US citizen it is almost impossible to do anyting the in TN \/B2 realm that would not be forgiven on marriage, so there is no worry there.

Just make sure you stay in Us
 
Thanks for such a quick response! What are your thoughts about me potentially doing consulting work for the former employer while on B2 status? Also do you think I'll have a problem since I will be applying for B2 status after my TN status has expired (as of 4/16)? I didn't receive any advance notice of the layoff so there's not much I could have done beforehand.
 
You would need a TN. You cannot work on B2, and you cannot work for a US company on B1 (which would by the way require you live in canada).

If they hire you as consultant, they will need to do so on TN, which xhould not be a problem.
