The fact that you received severance pay, in itself, does not make you eligible for unemployment benefits. There are many reasons a person receives severance, including voluntarily leaving a job, so that is not a determinant.
WARN is a federal regulation. The WARN act money is considered back pay. Receiving back pay WILL disqualify you from receiving unemployment. Anything after 60 days is considered regular severance and can be received in addition to unemployment.
Generally you will be disqualified for the amount of time that you receive severance. For example, if your weekly benefits are $400 a week and you earned $1200 severance, then you will be disqualified for a month.
Yes you can. Tennessee considers severance pay as pay for previous work performed. See the section under 'DateLine - Q&A: True of False' in the Related Link below.
Yes, you can collect after the severance pay ends. Refer to the Related link below under %65.102 "Application of the deductions - (k). The deductions also only occur from the benefits in the week actually received.
The states vary widely on this question. Some ignore it, others consider it in the week received, and still others have to determine the exact motive behind the payment of it. You need to check with your own state's employment office for a definitive answer.

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...
My wife is over 65....she collects Social Security, and is about to be offered a severance package as her current employer is downsizing. Is she still entitled to collect unemployment benefits, and can she go on medicaire ?
All states have different unemployment laws. However, mostly it will come down to if you are still receiving a paycheck regularly or if you received it in one lump sum. If you received your severance pay in one paycheck, you may file for unemployment now. If you are receiving it in installments (such as weekly, biweekly, monthly), you may be able to receive partial benefits if the amount is low enough. I would contact your local unemployment office and they will be able to direct you to the proper time to file.
