Does severance delay my unemployment claim?, call-centre agent here

I was offered severance of 11 weeks after being let go as a call-centre agent and I am unsure how it affects benefits. I am in Denver, in case local advice matters. 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.

Some states only count certain kinds of severance. A local workforce centre could tell me which.
