The answer is "it depends." If you sign the severance agreement because your employer requires you to do so (i.e., threatens to terminate you if you do not), you may be able to assert that you did not voluntarily quit when your severance expires. In general, if you are looking for work and cannot find it, your application for unemployment benefits has a good chance of being successful.
