[TEXAS] When to sign up for unemployment
Hello,
I recently resigned from my job due to a RIF that will happen soon. I was given a severance package for 3 months and a separation agreement. In the agreement, my previous employer states they will not contest unemployment. My last day of employment was July 31, but I will be paid till Aug 14. They also told me my benefits will end aug 14, but they are paying COBRA premiums for 3 months.
My question is when can I actually start trying to file for unemployment? Also, for COBRA, I would work directly with them and not my previous employer?
Appreciate any help or advice as well!
