Should an unemployment filing claim in Colorado be initiated immediately while still receiving a non lump severance pay which will last for three weeks?

: I found out part of this answer...if you file before your severance is fully paid out, you risk having unemployment not give you benefits for those weeks. Additionally, those weeks will be 'wasted'since a claim begins on the week filing takes place. Also important, if you are awarded from unemployment say, $12,000 and you filed before severance is complete, they will reduce your benefit amount by the amount of your severance. For instance, if you're getting $3,000 in severance, unemployment will reduce your total claim to $9,000. : However, some employers' severance is not considered as such by unemployment...there is an investigation and it may be determined that these wages are not technically severance after all. The above info was obtained by an unemployment representative. This same answer was posted by me in the discussion area as well...it would be interesting to see any other information on this subject.

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...

When the federal government states that a person can receive unemployment benefits how can the state of Tennessee say they will not pay because of relocation?

Tennessee, not the federal government, pays the unemployment benefits and thus sets the terms for qualifying. There must be some aspect of your claim to cause this, because unemployment benefits normally follow the worker. It might have to do with why you left the job, because that alone would not qualify you. You need to contact Tennessee's employment security office for clarification of their actions.
