Does severance delay my unemployment claim?, quality inspector here

My employer is paying severance in instalments and I am not sure whether to file now. I have a mortgage and need to plan. How did your state treat it?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
