Does severance delay my unemployment claim? - 5 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. Did you file straight away?

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.

Before signing, I asked a friend who is a lawyer to look at the agreement. It was a short conversation and worth it.
