Is there anybody in Arkansas that took the VSP and was approved for unemployment?

@mh so you thought you was gonna get a big payday AND bank off unemployment? 24 weeks sounds like you’ll get another job in no time. You were wanting out of Centene and you got it. Best of luck! 😃
@k9 why should they? You VOLUNTARILY left your job.
I am in Arkansas and my understanding is - you have to exhaust your weeks of severance pay before you can receive unemployment pay. Even though it was paid in one lump payout. It spelled out the weeks and They go by that. So i have to wait 24 weeks.
@k9 are you in Arkansas?
They won't approve mine. It's being reviewed and supposedly can take 8 weeks. The max you can get weekly is like $400. How is anyone supposed to live off that esp with kids. If we ever get it anyway. I guess I can say goodbye to my 401k.
@c6 took the vsp and got a job 2 weeks later….dreams do come true for some!
Enjoy the panic feeling of the unknown…hope it never catches up to you.
@c6 yeah so not sure why you felt the need to reply when you didn't even take the VSP but whatever. And as far as coming back to Centene, that will never ever ever happen. I hope your decision to stay was the right one so best of luck to you!!
Nope! I didn’t take the VSP because you couldn’t pay me to be unemployed in this job market. Hope the bonus payout was worth it and lasts until you get a new job.
Don’t try to come back to Centene. VSP was for those ready to move on.
Best of luck! 🙃
