Severance and unemployment, do they overlap? (Jacksonville)

I was offered severance of 6 weeks after being let go as a janitorial supervisor and I am unsure how it affects benefits. It has been a long 24 weeks. I also wonder about the job-search requirement. How did your state treat it?

Rules differ by state. I called the claims line and asked directly, then wrote down the answer and the date.

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