You are “currently” working outside the USA -it depends on how long “currently” is. For example, if you moved to Germany to install things or train people for a month, you would be treated like someone working in the USA, and it doesn’t matter that you were laid off while in Germany.
If you stay long enough in Germany, Germany will decide that you have to pay taxes in Germany, and German employment law will apply - which be be of advantage to you.
