Does severance delay my unemployment claim? - 17 weeks in

My employer is paying severance in instalments and I am not sure whether to file now. I have a mortgage and need to plan. How did your state treat it?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
