Got severance, how does it affect benefits? - first time posting

I signed a severance agreement and I am worried about how to report it. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I have a mortgage and need to plan. 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.

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