withheld for federal income tax as well the help text says there's only one answer to that and it's yes 10% is the only withholding option for unemployment answering yes here has no effect on the

pension severance pay if you've applied for those and it's gonna want to see if you know the amount of those and how regularly they happen and if there's an expected end date to those and then some questions down here that you know do you have a definite recall date from your former employers as far as when you go back to work at least at the time of this video recording if you've been displaced
