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.

Apparently not, because severance pay would be deducted from your unemployment compensation in the week it was received. See the Related Link below.
