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.

It depends on the particular state. Most allow both, but offset the unemployment benefits the week(s) in which the income was received for the severance pay. You still have to qualify as any other claimant for unemployment.

Yes, unemployment is only related to how and why you separated from your employer. Anything that took place afterwards or compensation from your employer would not be relevant.
