Sometimes yes sometimes no, what I heard is you have to put reduction of work to qualify when you file
You are OK in PA
one week waiting period in CA, no severance isn't a factor, but not it in your claim. You have paid into these benefits and so has the company. you are unemployed, the severance is not a factor
Our state MN sends a form to VZ to verify your employment status and any severance periods.
Don't tell the state that you volunteered!
"Only after your severance period (2 weeks / year of service) runs out. COuld be different in different states. Check with them."
Most states will pay / let you claim unemployment your first day off payroll, severance or no severance. VZ could always fight the claim, but they won't.
yes
In Texas you can. I've done that.
