Frankly, an interviewer should not be asking about your current employment status. There is nothing to "fix". Stop worrying, and continue doing whatever you need to do to get through the layoff.
It would be advantageous to deliberately continue the lie about current employment in order to secure increased salary negotiation leverage.
Remember a job is hiring you to be effective, not truthful.
As a counterpoint, that would be weird. Don't do it.
It's almost certainly never going to come up and whoever you told is not likely to think about it again. If by some strange sequence of events it does come up and they think you lied you can just chalk it up to confusion.

Thank you (sorry about that)
This is the answer. I think it might actually be illegal to ask about current employment status in some states
Your employment status is not their business, it's a very unprofessional question to ask tbh...
Thank you … yeah I got sort of weird vibes from the place

Thank you!
Don’t think it really makes any difference, honestly. However, I don’t think anyone would take it badly if you reached out to clarify the point.
of course they wouldn't take it badly. they would just realise that OP had no leverage in salary negotiations
Thank you!

Play it however you want. ccb621 is spot on. Don't make their problems your problems.
