There is a disqualification for quitting, but after that period the person could collect unemployment. What you are asking is whether the employer's reserve account is charged at that point. Check with the E.D.D.

I would have to know more about the circumstances, but generally you are disqualified from receiving unemployment if you voluntarily resigned.
