Can you still collect unemployment if you get a severance? How does that work

You can file but you won't get unemployment until severance runs out. Doesn't hurt to get your ducks in a row.
Severance pay first. After that you get unemployment. You don't get both at the same time.
I am headed for the unemployment office right now as we speak. Do any Christmas shopping without some extra money.
Yes you can.
I've heard you can, can't verify though. I would expect unemployment would be part of the "let go" situation. Being let go is not being fired, so I'd expect to be allowed to file for unemployment.
You can try. Can’t hurt
