You cannot claim for any weeks that you are getting paid, even for severance. You should be eligible once your severance is up.
It depends. What state? How many weeks of severance did you get and when did you receive it relative to when you were laid off?
I received severance in NYC and purposely negotiated to receive it 30 days post layoff to minimize impact on unemployment.

Good luck OP. Sorry you have to battle this on top of everything else!
Thanks for everything encouragement! Spoke to them for 3hrs today, not eligible for benefits the last 8 weeks bc of getting severance it’s counted as wages. I can’t appeal it bc they said I won’t win. They let me file a new claim starting today that’s waiting approval
In NY you get no benefits until the severance “runs out.” I know, I got canned from Grey the year this went into effect. Maybe they reversed it???
