When a week of severance pay is less than the weekly benefit amount, the resident is eligible for a benefit payment reduced by the severance pay. For example, if a worker is receiving severance pay for a week equal to $200 but the weekly benefit amount of the claim is $275, the individual can be paid $75 in unemployment benefits.
