If I have an offer lined up to start in June, and get laid off this week with a severance package of 3 months, is it illegal to collect the full 3 months of severance?

No, it would be illegal to continue to collect unemployment if you have a job but not severance. What you are talking about is the dream scenario. Severance while already having something lined up.

No.

I would suspect not illegal since this could always happen (covid-19 or not).

I think it actually is. I sat in unemployment training, and they mentioned that if you are caught with an offer and collecting unemployment, you get fined.

I once was laid off and needed to collect unemployment; they give unemployment benefits for people who have not received an offer or have a job. So if you have an offer, you still have a job even though you’re not working atm. If you hadn’t received your offer after you were laid off, you would be eligible.

Ugh I misread OP’s post. Was multi-tasking lol y’all right
