I would call or visit your local Arbeitsamt and the issuer of the Blue Card (Ausländerbehörde?) and ask them what to do. Waiting and hoping are rarely good options with German officialdom!

I agree with Beppi. Call the local authorities and ask. I would think that under the circumstance one would be given a period in which to find a new job. Whether it qualifies to keep a blue card is another question.

But I very much doubt one can get unemployment in such a situation. A foreigner usually has to have worked for some years, even one from another EU or Schengen country, to get benefits.

In order to qualify for unemployment benefit, you must fulfil certain criteria:

You are unemployed.

You have registered as unemployed at your local employment office.

You have made at least 12 months’ worth of unemployment insurance contributions within the last 30 months - not necessarily consecutively (exceptions are made for any time taken out to raise children, to do military service, or due to illness, within the last 30 months).

You are looking for a job subject to compulsory insurance to work at least 15 hours per week.

You are an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen, or you hold a valid settlement permit or temporary residence permit that entitles you to work in Germany.

If you were previously employed on multiple short fixed-term employment contracts (shorter than 14 weeks), then you may be entitled to unemployment benefits if you have made at least six months’ worth of contributions in the last 30 months.

If you previously worked in an EU or EEA country before coming to Germany, these periods of employment can be used towards your entitlement to unemployment benefits in Germany. The prerequisite is that you worked subject to social security contributions after arriving in Germany.

If you do not fulfil these requirements, you may be able to apply for the citizens’ allowance (Bürgergeld)

Stay Calm Void-Caller. Ups and downs are part of life. I can understand your scnerio because i have passed from similar kind of situation. I was hired by an it startup. Then I worked in a call center, then i worked on vape shop just to overcome my pocket money.

Mean while i was applying via Linkedln & Indeed kind a sites. I I got a lot of calls from many IT companies and i was interviewed. Finally i got hired by one of a good IT company. They work on Shpoify, Prestashop and Magento. They have their own dedicated sites and have listed their products on different marketplaces as well. So you can try similar kind of things in these crucial circumstances.

Thank you everyone...!
