Does severance delay my unemployment claim? - 7 weeks in

I signed a severance agreement and I am worried about how to report it. Thank you in advance. I have a mortgage and need to plan. 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.

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.
