That’s false, you should have gotten both. I got severance AND unemployment.

It’s state-dependent. And in my state, unfortunately, severance above a threshold amount is deducted from the amount of unemployment benefits you’re eligible for. I would have been eligible for something like $300 total, and this would have been payable only after nearly six months of filing claims and (pretending to be) looking for work that entire time. Certainly not worth it.

I’d argue it is worth it because that $300 still came from the employer who laid you off in the first place.
I get it tho, that’s not very motivating when you’ve got all the other bullshit around layoff and job searching to deal with
