Yes, it could happen, but not in your case. You worked at the new job way too long. Had you been there say two months, that could have been an entirely different story.
There is also the possibility of "gross misconduct" that could cause your wage credits from the old job to be cancelled, but that wouldn't necessarily result in a denial, but it could reduce the value of your claim.

Do you know how many people say they were "laid off" and weren't? No one in the UI office believes that any more. They are holding up your claim to make sure that you weren't responsible for contributing to your separation. Do know how many employers tell claimants that they were "laid off" and then tell the UI people the person was fired? Seriously, if you didn't have an nonmonetary interview scheduled, you should have been suspicious that your application didn't go through.
