If i turn in my two weeks notice, will i be eligible for unemployment checks

If you give two weeks notice, you will be denied unemployment compensation because this will be a voluntary quit.
If you are fired, you will be eligible for unemployment compensation unless you are being fired for misconduct.
Therefore, it is preferable to be fired than to voluntarily quit.
