    I was offered severance of 14 weeks after being let go as a project coordinator and I am unsure how it affects benefits. There are 14 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. 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.

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