Gordon, you may be hurting your overall picture in that, most states limit the unemployement checks.
If you are getting benifits and your severance, you are loosing time on the clock.
If I may:
You get a severance, then they deduct UB ( Unemployment Benifits ). Let us say that the state will only allow 26 weeks of UB. Each week you use both, you get closer to the 26th week. Since they are deducting the UB from your severance, you get the same cash as if you were NOT getting UBs.
May I suggest you stop the UBs if you can and wait until your severacen runs out. Then you will have whatever you did not use to carry you further.
Just a suggestion.
