Does severance delay my unemployment claim? (Phoenix)

I signed a severance agreement and I am worried about how to report it. I also wonder about the job-search requirement. Did you file straight away?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 11 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.
