If your first severance payment occurred more than 30 days after your severance date or last day of work then you could have applied for, began certifying for, and presumably receiving unemployment for the entire time that you were paid severance.
However, if your pay never lapsed then you will apply for unemployment benefits and the issue will be whether you chose to leave your seasonal job, whether you would have qualified for unemployment benefits even if you were still there, and if not, whether there was good cause for your choosing to leave that job.
Call some employment lawyers if the above does not answer the truncated question I think you were going to ask.
