H1b Layoff severance question

[h1buser123]

I have been laid off by my company , the company will keep me in their payroll for next 2 months plus severance but I am not supposed to work in that timeframe. my 60 days grace period will kick in after my last payroll , so basically I get 4 months to look for a job.

Now my question is, if I get a job immediately I'll be be receiving paychecks from both my new company and old company , is it ok since I am legally not working for old company. 
if not then what should I do in this case.

Its better to run this by an attorney since the day you have stopped working for the company, your 60 day grace period starts. You can use the 2 additional months in some cases but that is a little gray area. Severance period is not considered and its counted towards the 60 day grace period.
