Husband fired

My husband was let go from his job today. He is the sole provider for our family. We have never dealt with this so not sure how to move forward. The reason for his termination was due to performance but no specifics were given. He has been given no performance reviews or has had any reason to believe his job was in jeopardy.

We just had our third child so obviously this is an already stressful time.

He has been told he can resign and receive two weeks pay or he can be terminated as of today. We are concerned if he accepts a voluntary resignation that we will not be able to obtain unemployment benefits. But they’re giving him an ultimatum so this makes things tricky. Does anyone have any insight on the best way to move forward? Any help, insight, or legal advice would be so appreciated.
