Does severance delay my unemployment claim? - 23 weeks in

My employer is paying severance in instalments and I am not sure whether to file now. I also wonder about the job-search requirement. How did your state treat it?

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

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