Does severance delay my unemployment claim? - 4 weeks in

My employer is paying severance in instalments and I am not sure whether to file now. I have been trying to stay organised about it. The agreement mentions a release and a payment schedule. Did you file straight away?

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

Rules differ by state. I called the claims line and asked directly, then wrote down the answer and the date.
