What does lay-off and subject to recall mean?

I’m completing a job application, and one of the questions reads: “Are you currently on layoff status and subject to recall?” The options provided are:
Yes
No

Additionally, the form asks for "Salary Desired: __." Could someone clarify what “layoff” and “subject to recall” mean in this context?

Means: Are you on a list to be called back by the employer that laid you off. In other words, could there currently be a job waiting for you.

Being lay-off from work normally means being let go due to the company’s financial reasons (budget cut, bankruptcy, etc). If the company decides to open the position again after the lay-off then the person who got laid off has to either take the job back or give a permission to the company to hire somebody else. The time limit is different from one state to another. Check with your state labor regulations to find out. Subject to recall may mean that the position might be terminated temporarily but will be reinstated in the near future

When a company does a lay off, and they think this is not a long term thing, they will let you know that you are subject to recall. This means that they will contact you and offer you a job back at their company if one should become open. It doesn’t mean you have to take the job but they will consider you first before going to outside people for hiring.

It’s means are you currently on lay-off from another job with the possibility of being called back/re-instated.

They’re asking if you got laid off by your previous employer and if there’s a likelihood that you’ll get called back for the other job.

im sorry to say to this but you have to since you are collecting unemployment and if you are offered it back you must take it colllecting umployment means you are ready to accept a job even if you don’t take it your employer will tell unemployment and you won’t be able to collect it anymore
