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

I was offered severance of 10 weeks after being let go as a sales associate and I am unsure how it affects benefits. Any experience at all would help. I also wonder about the job-search requirement.

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

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