Does severance delay my unemployment claim? - first time posting

I was offered severance of 11 weeks after being let go as an operations analyst and I am unsure how it affects benefits. I worked as an operations analyst before this. I also wonder about the job-search requirement. Did you file straight away?

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

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