Yes you can. There is a formula that you can look up on the ODJFS website that will tell you the proportion of how your unemployment is adjusted based on the wages you earn. Like myself I did odd jobs for cash, while I did not have to report it, I did. And I was glad. It does not adjust dollar for dollar, in my case I had to make over $800 in a week before I would receive $0 in unemployment. But why I was happy I did, it allowed my unemployment to last longer payment wise. It allowed me to take more time to find the RIGHT job, and not just the first job.

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...
