If you resign your job, then you will be deemed to have voluntarily ended your employment. However, if you are fired for no reason (i.e. not for "cause"), then you will be eligible to receive unemployment compensation benefits.

Don't resign. Wait until you are fired. If you resign, it will be deemed a voluntary quit which will result in a denial of unemployment compensation. If you are fired, you will be eligible for unemployment compensation because the reason for being fired did not involve misconduct.
