For those who were laid off in New York, when did you apply for unemployment? Did you file as soon as your job ended or wait until the severance period was over?

@aw are u d-mb? Ur asking him to not be able to cover his expenses while he looks for a new job? It’s people like u that shouldn’t have a job out of thinking like an id--t. Smh
Right away. NYS asks about severance, but you will not have received it yet, so you say "no." There is at least a 45 day delay, plus many defer it to the following year for tax reasons. The question they ask isn't will you get severance, maybe someday. It is: are you getting it right now.
@aw - because they can, they paid into it, to help cover expenses while looking for another job.
You’re an 1d10t.
Depends on your state. Some will not pay unemployment if you have taken your severance. Don’t know the formula but you can’t take or use both at the same time. Check with your unemployment office to verify. Did hear of some doing both and don’t know the penalty for it.
Why file for unemployment? Get another job.
right away
