Got severance, how does it affect benefits?

    My employer is paying severance in instalments and I am not sure whether to file now. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I also wonder about the job-search requirement. How did your state treat it?

    I filed on day one anyway and reported the severance honestly. The agency decided what to do about the timing.

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 10 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
