Got severance, how does it affect benefits? after 12 years as a forklift operator

I signed a severance agreement and I am worried about how to report it. This is my first time dealing with any of this. 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.

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