Laid off after 5 months - Do I qualify for New York Unemployment?

Hey everyone, I just got laid off from my job. I was employed from January 1st to May 31st this year. I'm worried about qualifying for unemployment because the NY unemployment website says you need to have worked in at least two calendar quarters during your base period. I'm a month short of that second quarter. Does anyone know if I'll still be eligible for benefits? Really need some help figuring this out.
