Why would firing make someone ineligible for unemployment? That seems silly

Quitting your job makes you ineligible for unemployment -- that's why the company called it their "resignation"

Why does it matter to the company if you claim unemployment benefits?

Unemployment taxes for a company scale based on historical claims from that company. More Unemployment Benefits paid out = more future UI taxes paid by that employer. It's meant to be a self-funding system.

To expand on what phonon said -- UI tax rate is company specific and depends, in part, on how much UI is paid out to company's employees.
