Thanks.
Depends on the state. Almost all (I think AK and a few others might be different) require you to verify you didn't receive "vacation pay off" or "severance pay" after your official off payroll date. The applications will also require your employers Unemployment Insurance ID number, which is also used to verify your claim.
