Fired verses Resigning

Commonwealth of Virgina

I was fired today when I gave my letter of resignation. When the company HR people realized the CEO fired me, they changed the wording on the termination paperwork to resigned. I refused to sign along with my boss, both were told by the CEO I was fired. I know I was leaving anyways, but does this change my ability to draw unemployment benifits?
