Does severance delay my unemployment claim? - 14 weeks in

I signed a severance agreement and I am worried about how to report it. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I also wonder about the job-search requirement. Who should I ask before signing?

I filed on day one anyway and reported the severance honestly. The agency decided what to do about the timing.

Some states only count certain kinds of severance. A local workforce centre could tell me which.
