Does severance delay my unemployment claim? - first time posting

    My employer is paying severance in instalments and I am not sure whether to file now. It has been weighing on me all week. I also wonder about the job-search requirement. 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.

    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.
