Does severance delay my unemployment claim? - first time posting

I signed a severance agreement and I am worried about how to report it. I have a mortgage and need to plan. Who should I ask before signing?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 6 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
