1292.0. "Unemployment for TFSO?" by WEDOIT::NANCY () Fri Nov 30 1990 15:11

    
    When can you start collecting unemployment after taking the TSFO?
    
    In particular, for NH. employees.
    
    Thanks, Nancy

1292.1May Vary from State-to-StateNRADM::PARENTIT'S NOT PMS-THIS IS HOW I REALLY AMFri Nov 30 1990 16:0212
    Before you ask "when" you need to find out *IF* you can collect 
    unemployment in your state after voluntarily leaving your job.
    If yes, it would seem reasonable to expect to be elligible after
    the number of weeks you were paid through - not the day after
    getting your final pay.
    
    This question was asked at a meeting a couple of weeks ago in NRO.
    The "non-answer" was that Digital would not block someone applying
    but they had no information about if anyone has successfully collected
    since time hasn't run out for the 1st package yet.

    As the author of .1 points out, you will need to discover "IF" you can
    collect in New Hampshire.  A phone call to your local New Hampshire
    Employment Security Dept. office will undoubtedly answer that for you.
    
    If past experience is any help, and assuming that you are eligible for 
    benefits, they probably wouldn't commence until you have waited the
    number of weeks for which you received pay.  For example, my wife was
    laid off a few months ago.  She didn't start to receive unemployment
    benefits until she had waited four weeks, which equaled the amount of
    time for which she had received severance/vacation pay from her
    ex-employer.

    My understanding is that by accepting TFSO you have voluntarily
    resigned and are thus ineligible from collecting unemployment.

1292.5Reqeusted resignations <=> terminationGUIDUK::B_WOODCompared to Alaska, Seattle winters are warmTue Dec 04 1990 22:1614
    re: .2
    
    Most progressive states have held that "Being asked to resign" is
    termination.  If not done properly, companies can be held to
    significant compensatory and punitative damages.  
    
    If a person applies for unemployment and is turned down because
    he/she techincally resigned, they can always appeal.  I know one
    individual who was harrased into leaving an organization, filed
    a complaint with Job Service when denied, and eventually received
    unemployement.  
    
    This is done, because too many resignations are actual firings or 
    layoffs.

Being "progressive" has never been something that New Hampshire was noted for.

    This is what I heard, but don't know how true it is:
    When you go into TMP, you have 4 weeks to find a job or take the
    package.  If you can't find a job in the 4 weeks and have to leave,
    it's looked upon in Mass as being layed off.  If you go into TMP and
    take the package right away, it's looked upon as quiting.  The reason
    being that if you took it right away, you weren't interested in staying
    employed.
    
    I can see their point.  BUT, like I said, I don't know how true this
    is.
