Severance and unemployment, do they overlap?, teaching assistant here

I signed a severance agreement and I am worried about how to report it. I worked as a teaching assistant before this. The agreement mentions a release and a payment schedule. Who should I ask before signing?

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

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