Unfortunately, from the information that you provided, you rights to any pay will most likely need to be determined pursuant to Indiana law. Most states have an office which will allow you to file a complaint against the company for failure to pay your wages. Though, if the company has gone out of business, this may be of small comfort. If the company has in fact gone out of business, you would still have a claim against the company which could be filed with the court or in the company's bankruptcy (if such a proceeding has been filed).
