In Connecticut, the period that you receive severance pay, in your case, 3 days, will not delay the commencement of unemployment benefits if you had to sign a release of claims in order to get the severance pay. The Unemployment Department simply wants to know if you had to sign such a Release. If you did, provide a copy of it. If you didn't, then your unemployment benefits won't begin until your severance period is over.
