Severance and unemployment, do they overlap? - 4 months and counting

I was offered severance of 10 weeks after being let go as a sales associate and I am unsure how it affects benefits. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I have a mortgage and need to plan. Did you file straight away?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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