Got severance, how does it affect benefits? - 14 months and counting

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

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

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