As each state sets it's own requirements, you need to contact your state's employment security office for clarification. As a general rule, because you must report any and all income received while getting benefits, the state usually adjusts your weekly benefits during each week you receive other income

Can you accept severance pay and collect unemployment in GA?

In Georgia, you can accept severance pay and still collect unemployment benefits, but it may affect the timing of your benefits. If the severance pay is a lump sum, it may delay the start of your unemployment benefits until the severance period ends. However, if the severance is paid out over time, it might reduce your weekly unemployment benefits. It's advisable to report any severance pay when filing for unemployment to ensure compliance with state regulations.


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...
