For someone on furlough and collecting TX unemployment but was recently layoff,will the severance pay affect the weekly unemployment claim?

you cannot get unemployment benefits for the week you receive the severance check. Due to reporting periods, you may miss UI benefits for two weeks. Should be only one week but some TWC employees will try to save the state a week of benefits and nobody appeals for just one week. Since there will be no employment, you will collect that week on the back end. Other than that you should get benefits.
Colorado is the same. You are required to answer a questionnaire and state that you have not received severance before submitting a request for payment
I believe it’s the same in Colorado, can anyone confirm?
The response below is correct. Was laid off in 1st round and I want to hug my VP for doing that. Haha
You will not get unemployment benefits for the week in which your severance is paid after that It will continue
