Got severance, how does it affect benefits?, IT help-desk technician here

I was offered severance of 6 weeks after being let go as an IT help-desk technician and I am unsure how it affects benefits. The agreement mentions a release and a payment schedule. Who should I ask before signing?

Some states only count certain kinds of severance. A local workforce centre could tell me which.

Rules differ by state. I called the claims line and asked directly, then wrote down the answer and the date.
