If you take a continuous pay severance, unemployment would start when that ends, if you take a lump sum severance from your employer you can stare unemployment benefits a week after your job ends.

The answer is yes. Under KY law severance is not deductible and you do not have to report it. However, I do know of cases where they were denied for this reason and they had to hire an attorney to fight them in court.

You usually cannot collect unemployment if you are fired or receive severance pay in any way. It depends on the situation and why you are receiving severance pay.

Can unemployment benefits and severance from an employer be collected at the same time in NY state?

I did. I received lump sum severance and collected unemployment in NYC. Of course, the regular one week waiting period for unemployment still goes so make sure to apply immediately. Actually, if you think about it, a lump sum payment is really part of your compensation package, so as long you don't keep receiving a paycheck after that, then why shouldn't you be entitled to unemployment like everyone else? I imagine it would be different if you cotinue to receive a paycheck every week for a specified amount of time after you were let go though...
