Does severance delay my unemployment claim? - what worked for you?

I was offered severance of 6 weeks after being let go as a social media manager and I am unsure how it affects benefits. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. The agreement mentions a release and a payment schedule. Did you file straight away?

Before signing, I asked a friend who is a lawyer to look at the agreement. It was a short conversation and worth it.
