California E&S Insurance

Laid off and offered a month long contract. What about unemployment? I was laid off from my job on Friday. They are offering me a month long independent contractor contract for a special project and severance. Will accepting the contract hurt my chances for unemployment? And, if not, when should I apply? After the contract ends?
