as a general rule a person who is laid off is not entitled to vacation pay. I am not however licensed in VA and would advise that you contact a local attorney and ask them about the specifics surrounding this situation. Especially with all the changes and the economy as it is there have been many changes specific to location which is why you should at least make a quick phone call. An attorney can answer either yes or no and you will know for sure
My short answer however is that unfortunately unless it is in your contract you will not be entitled to vacation pay
