Navigating unemployment benefits after receiving severance pay in New York

I recently received a questionnaire regarding my severance after being laid off from my job in New York at the beginning of the month. I filed for unemployment immediately after my last day, which was June 1st, but I didn't mention that I was receiving severance pay because I wasn't fully aware of the process. I got my final paycheck the day after I was laid off and received severance payments on June 12 and June 26, totaling about four weeks of pay. Since this is my first time navigating unemployment benefits, I'm unsure if I will still be eligible for unemployment payments despite receiving severance. I'm worried about whether I need to repay any benefits if they determine that I should have reported the severance earlier. I haven't received any unemployment payments yet, so I'm anxious about how this will affect my claim.
