Does severance delay my unemployment claim?, security officer here

I was offered severance of 10 weeks after being let go as a security officer and I am unsure how it affects benefits. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. 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.

Rules differ by state. I called the claims line and asked directly, then wrote down the answer and the date.
