Can I start a new job during the 60-day notice period?

I am being downsized and have been given my 60-day notice. Can I start a new job during the notice period?|||You can...the real question is, %26quot;if I start a new job, will I forfeit any severance due to me?%26quot; and the answer depends on the severance pay policy of your current company. In most cases, you would forfeit your severance.|||Sure... but you will most likely then be %26quot;quitting%26quot; your old job which means you will probably forego any severance package you would have gotten if you stuck around until the end.
