Severance and unemployment, do they overlap?, forklift operator here

I signed a severance agreement and I am worried about how to report it. I worked as a forklift operator before this. The agreement mentions a release and a payment schedule. Did you file straight away?

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

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