Are presidential advisors eligible for unemployment benefits when they get fired?

I think the conversation Steve Bannon had with the guy next to him in line at the unemployment office might have gone something like this:

Steve:  I called American Prospect and deep sixed the President!  What did you do?

Guy next to him: I worked at Taco Bell and I got caught putting a booger in the taco meat.

Hmm, It might work that way.
