Yes — severance doesn't block UI

• California — yes
• Illinois — yes, even if paid over time
• Washington — yes, in most cases
• North Carolina — yes
• Michigan — yes, if severance is under 1.6x your weekly benefit; reduced above that

Yes, with conditions

• New York — yes if lump sum; no/delayed if weekly payments exceed $504/wk
• New Jersey — yes if lump sum; no/delayed if paid in installments
• Texas — yes if lump sum; no/delayed if salary continuation
• Georgia — conditional; lump sum often spread over weeks (severance ÷ weekly pay)
• Pennsylvania — yes up to 40% of state average annual wage (~$28,154 for 2026); deducted above that
• Massachusetts — yes up to $600/wk; reduced above that

No — delays or reduces UI

• Florida — no; counts as income, disqualifies weeks equal to severance ÷ weekly wage
• Minnesota — no; delays if severance is FICA wages
• Ohio — no; can reduce or delay

Rule of thumb everywhere: lump sum is treated better than salary continuation, and always report the severance. Rules vary and change — verify with your state unemployment office.

ARE LAYOFFS STILL HAPPENING ? IF SO WHAT MARKET /STATE ARE YOU IN

Governor Joe Lombardo has signed an emergency regulation to prevent mid-year staff layoffs in Nevada's public schools. This action allows school districts to receive state funding based on earlier legislative projections instead of current lower student headcounts. The Nevada Department of Education proposed the temporary waiver of strict per-pupil headcount requirements. This intervention will stop imminent staff reductions, school closures, and program terminations. The measure provides stability while longer-term solutions are developed.

Growing more pessimistic here

If so please share your State/Plan

If you were RIF'd today, please provide STATE, LOB, DEPT. plz & thank you. also, good luck out there

Did anyone get notification today?

If plans have contracts with states, how will this affect those? They can't pull out of a state until the contract ends, can they? What happens when staff leave or are let go & the company can't fulfill the contract requirements? Can states sue? Would Centene do that?

Do you think AI will be a key driver for innovation in State Street ?
I have my doubts when I see the people leading such initiatives

We heard in Fire company there is an important meeting we need to attend? Anyone know what it is about?

The Threat of Stagflation.

Energy prices are (not) coming down anytime soon -

• Energy prices will stay High for (months, or longer) due to numerous reasons from the U.S. Iran War.

The "peak" season for Energy is (Always) the Summer.

• Stagflation - High Inflation - Low Growth is a (Very serious) threat to the U.S. economy.

It the (current) trends continue (especially if Inflation is allowed to run) and the Fed doesn't raise Interest rates to control it is a Major recession > 2027.

• LEI - Leading Economic Index (the Chart).

  These are the facts.

I am looking to make a heroic return to State Farm. How have things been since 2020 after I left? Has the pay gotten any better? I'm looking at working as a Software Engineer as the market is too brutal right now and this place is my only hope. Is the interview process still easy?

Have most regions already started to get rid of the BCR role? Our facility is one of three that have not switched in our state yet, but it is coming sometime this year I heard.

Rumor has it that state street posts the positions after a U.S. employee leaves for 30 days but either freezes or pulls it so they can justify adding it to the H1B pool.

Anyone believe this to be true?

Also, it's state specific

Did this impact the state plan roles?

Can anyone confirm if they were paid out their PTO upon being fired/quitting. I am having an issue with that as well as being paid my commission. Ideally looking for feedback from someone not in California.
