Got severance, how does it affect benefits? (Jacksonville)

I signed a severance agreement and I am worried about how to report it. It has been a long 17 weeks. The agreement mentions a release and a payment schedule.

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
