Has it started for Home and Community Pre-Service department - SNF, IRF and LTAC?

@hd That only applies for people working at the same physical address so the large ones can trigger a WARN, but don't need to if planned carefully.

For states that have the WARN Act I believe you get 60 days notice. I know CA and NJ are part of that. If more than 75 people are cut during a RIF they have to give people in those states 60 days notice so I assume end of year for the last day if you live in those states.

@fs I have heard they will want to keep CC/ SICC with H&C through the sunset of Humana… those cases will need reviewed through the end of the contract. I am guessing the severance will start Jan 1st. Those that get the call from HR will get the timelines at that time. It sounds like they want to give us 60 days.

@fw isn’t that typically just for managers?

@gb I was really hoping we’d still get notified at the same time as everyone else if we are getting cut and let us know our last day, which I’m assuming would have to be close to the end of the year to still manage all of the Humana members. Not sure how that will pan out if there aren’t enough of us around to handle the members we are still contracted to manage.

@fs im wondering if they will keep the SICCS longer than usual since the business will be here until end of year?

@fs typically you’ll get 2 weeks of “garden leave” where you don’t have to actually work but you get paid. The end of that garden leave is your severance date (so middle of November). You will then have health coverage until the end of November.

If they lay us off this week, does anyone think (or know!) if it we will be immediately done if RIFd or given separation date? Just thinking about insurance coverage and would imagine they would cut us at end of month before paying Nov insurance premiums?

leadership? Are these the ones that sit in meetings all day, that you've never heard from before?

@cb seems like they would have to at least to an extent.. problem is, they'll be the ones who chooses who they are.

Anyone know if they are gonna make cuts at the leadership level? Too bad us CCs couldn't make a list of of upper leadership that should be let go.

@an What area are you in? Do you have a lot of Humana?

Hearing Wed or Thur for Home and Community CC/ SICC’s. No idea on numbers. But I am guessing if you are in a Humana heavy market, prepare for a call and hope you don’t get it.

@an no one is told anything. Sometimes information is leaked and other times it’s speculation. Luckily we have this board to try to fit the puzzle pieces together.

Any news specifically for SICC? We don’t get told anything.

I’ve been told most likely 10/29. Pre-service will be hit hard. They will likely let go PCRs and CTMs. I abhor offshoring!!!

@ab will any management be let go? Moving teams AGAIN is stressful by itself.

@ae there is a file that is called departing colleagues, but it's for resignations.

There was a 2026 departing CC colleague file that had been floating around which is no longer found; likely they have a final list? Hopefully its more internal transfers than actual RIFs as pre-service apparently had been hit hard, maybe that was the a good portion of the layoff?

Yes, my manager confirmed it will be Wed and/or Thurs this week for CCs.
