Do you think one loses salary bargaining power while interviewing after being laid off or it doesn't matter?

One of the firms I will be applying to are asking for a salary requirement. I'm thinking of asking more than what I was currently making. The thought being a) there was a year where a raise was skipped. And b) I think you always get paid more for the job you do at a new job vs your current job. And yes I plan to reference salary.com.

I don't plan to bring up being laid off unless they ask. Then I will say something along the lines of firm restructuring and staff being cut so they know I was not the only one cut.

Thoughts?
