Can a person draw unemployment after being laid off while waiting on a severance package? I have a feeling that Allstate will drag their feet getting the severance payment out. Just wondering if anyone knows... Thanks in advance.

Yes you can. I have been laid off twice previously and collected no problem in Ca. The companies don't fight it because you did nothing wrong.
Sorry I meant June 14th
Allstate said at the time the layoff was announced that they won't fight unemployment, real big of them. If you were part of the June 24th layoff you should have filed by now but it wil be retroactive so go online and file ASAP. They said up to 60 days for the severance pay so I'm sure we won't see anything before the 59th day.
