If I lose my job due to reaching mandatory retirement age (57), can I draw unemployment?

Question

I am a government employee with a mandatory retirement age of 57.  I must retire at the end of the month I turn 57 years old.  Can I draw unemployment until I find a job?

Some states encourage and provide UI to retirees who are actively looking for a job post retirement.

Please speak to a representative of the claims center in your state for more advise on this topic.
