Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

My position at work is being eliminated. I have 10 years with the company and I can retire, but the company will not pay for any health insurance. I'd like to know if I take a "lay-off" and apply for unemployment for the time period it is available (I believe its 40 weeks) when this time period is over, can I apply for my retirement then?
