My severance payments to be spread out over the year, maybe even next year. Can I still say I'm working there?

This is still TBD, but my last day of work was last Friday. For tax purposes, I've asked that my severance checks be rolled out over the year, maybe into next year. Can I still tell people in interviews that I am still there?

Someone once told me that it's easier to find a job when you have one vs. being totally unemployed. Or, will my last day show up during a background check.
