Does severance delay my unemployment claim? after 5 years as a bank teller

I signed a severance agreement and I am worried about how to report it. The agreement mentions a release and a payment schedule. Did you file straight away?

I filed on day one anyway and reported the severance honestly. The agency decided what to do about the timing.

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