unemployment eligibility

What is the name of your state?

i was terminated monday from my lending job at a bank after being sent home thursday pending investigation of a policy violation. I was not aware of the policy and it was determined in the investigation that it was not an intentional violation. However, some past poor job performance in addition to this violation was cited as the reason for termination. I was "allowed" to resign with a severance package. Am I eligible for any kind of unemployment benefits?

That will be entirely up to the state of South Carolina's unemployment board. By all means file a claim; the worst that can happen is that you're turned down.

P.S. In the large majority of states, poor performance is not a disqualification for benefits. Also, since it was determined to be not an intentional violation, there's a good likelihood that you will qualify - at least you would in my state. But every state is different, and only your state's UC board can say for absolutely certain.
