I think this may vary by state. A friend gave 2-weeks notice and was fired immediately (from a non-tech-sector job) and said that, according to the state, he wasn't eligible for unemployment, because he had resigned. Probably there was some kind of paperwork that the office had to file to make him eligible, which it didn't occur to them to do in this case. I'm willing to bet that its something they should have done, although I could definitely be wrong.

It seems that unemployment shouldn't function that way: the employer has to actively deny the UI claim, not have to do work to make their own UI premiums go up. Said friend may also suffer from social anxiety and just not want to talk to the UI office. By all means, anyone in this situation should call your state's unemployment office to find out. The worst they can do is say no. The one time I got laid off I was amazed at how nice they were.
