Legal Question in Employment Law in Massachusetts

My employer recently initiated the termination of my employment, giving me the option to take severance and leave immediately or stay an additional two months - at which point I would be terminated without severance. The separation agreement that came with the severance states that I voluntarily resigned my employment. In the state of Massachusetts will this disqualify me from receiving unemployment benefits?
