Does severance delay my unemployment claim?

    I was offered severance of 17 weeks after being let go as a paralegal and I am unsure how it affects benefits. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. 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 4 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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