Yes
My wife is over 65....she collects Social Security, and is about to be offered a severance package as her current employer is downsizing. Is she still entitled to collect unemployment benefits, and can she go on medicaire ?
No it is not. Florida has very few employment laws.
If someone is unemployed, then they do not receive any sort of salary or income.
Florida's unemployment rate hits 10.2 percent
In the sample application form in the Related Link below, there is no mention of filling in information regarding severance pay, so apparently you can collect. To be safe, when you file for unemployment, ask the unemployment employee if you can.
