Being Asked To Voluntarily Resign Because Of Relocation Requirements

Location: I am currently based in North Carolina, but the company I work for is based in Illinois. When I became a full-time employee on September 1, 2025, the company was fully remote. I received a notice one week ago that the company will now have a requirement of being in-person one day a week starting January 1, 2026. I am unable to relocate because of my lease on my apartment, so my boss said to send her an email with my decision by December 1, 2025 if I can or can't relocate. I obviously cannot. I met with her over video call and she said if I can't relocate my position would be eliminated, but I can work until the end of the year. I asked her if she could send me an email outlining the details we talked about on the call and in the email she said this would be considered a "voluntary resignation" and that I need to send her an email by December 1st with my decisions. I don't feel like I am voluntarily resigning. I don't want to have to resign, and if I resign, will I qualify for unemployment? I am trying to see if I should go along with her voluntary resignation or say I am not resigning and wait for her to terminate me. I'm just not sure of my rights in this situation.

EDIT: I appreciate everyone's comments and assistance but I am truly looking for LEGAL advice. Thanks! I also have a roomate, so we share a lease. I wouldn't be able to work something out with the apartment complex even if I could. I would need my part of the lease bought out.
