Can you collect unemployment after your severance pay?

Answer:
Yes, you can still collect unemployment benefits after receiving severance pay.

These 2 benefits are separate and distinct from the other -- severance pay is the consideration given by the employer after the employee's dismissal or termination from employment either as a reward for the service or in exchange for waiving his right to sue the employer.

Some severance packages actually include the benefit of uncontested unemployment benefits.
