Ask for a friend who just got laid off by EY. Would EY disclose if it was voluntary or involuntary?

No, EY will only disclose dates of employment and (I believe) title.

It’s my understanding that firms disclose dates of employment, title and compensation. That’s it.

like

A general rule of thumb for employers is to prevent stating anything other than dates of employment.

Providing additional information could potentially cause a legal hassle (if one suspects the former employer is being untruthful).

like

also, do you mind me asking the level of your friend? Just trying to gather some info on whether I leave the firm.

like

The firm won’t say anything, but I’d say 9 times out of 10, the hiring manager will have a back channel to a current firm employee to get the real story. I can say I get calls about 10x a year asking about a candidates background from friends, former coworkers, etc

like

It's illegal to disclose reason of cause.

This is not true (at least in any state I have lived in). The employer can legally say anything they want about you that is truthful

Can you apply for unemployment insurance for EY Lay-off?

Depends on the state, but most likely yes. I did in IL.
