If I'm laid off with severance, can I still apply for unemployment or not?

In Minnesota you have to wait the same number of weeks as your severance is before you can actually apply for unemployment. In California you can get both at the same time. So like others said it's state by state.
In my state you need to wait a week after your last day. They don't count severance against unemployment, but they do for PTO paid out as employment days. It is so confusing how each state has different rules.
Yes you can apply severance is not Salary
Yes, it’s state by state. In my state, you must exhaust severance before you can apply for unemployment.

You can apply for unemployment regardless of severance
Yes. Once your severance ends.
It depends on your State’s regulations.
