Can I collect unemployment and severance pay in Nebraska?

In Nebraska, you can collect unemployment benefits and severance pay simultaneously, but the severance pay may affect your unemployment benefits. Typically, if you receive severance pay, it may be considered as income, which could reduce your unemployment benefits for the weeks you receive it. It's important to report any severance payments to the Nebraska Department of Labor to ensure compliance with their regulations. Always consult with a local unemployment office for specific guidance related to your situation.
