I am being layoff and my employer wants me to sign a letter which states a four week notice prior to my last day of work and the option to apply for other jobs within the agency, will this prevent me from collecting unemployment?
I work for a non-profit

Take it to a lawyer.
There must be more to the letter. If it just says you received 4 weeks notice not an issue. But when it states you have the right to transfer that sounds like they are giving you something. And when someone gives you something you usually have to give them something.
Unemployment is determined by state DOL. You did not quit or commit misconduct per New York UIAB decisions you should get benefits. However if the letter says you agree to resign that would be very bad and no one should agree to that. Almost no one ever.
