In most cases you can but, because each state determines its own criteria, you need to check with your own employment security office.

Severance when file unemployment?

It is actually sometimes possible to receive unemployment benefits while on severance pay. It depends on the state you live in and how much severance you are receiving. If you cannot file for unemployment, you may be able to after the severance has run out-depending on how long unemployment extends for in your state.

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.
