Has anyone approved for unemployment benefits taking the VSP option ? any tips on how to appeal this do I have to wait after three months? I hope a job comes sooner than this, but has anyone heard anything as far as getting unemployment or has received unemployment?

@d1 I live in Texas and mine got denied Soooo ugh.. I just appealed it.
Apply right away in WA it took weeks to get approved for that small amount of $$ but I am not leaving anything on the table. Good luck!
MO yes, you will need supporting documentation. I chose "layoff" because layoffs were imminent & VSP was only offered because of the threat of layoffs. Cnc laid off immediately following the VSP & have other rounds of ISP planned. Its took 4-6 weeks of back & forth (and me providing documentation). Finally got approved
@d1 I applied but it gives you an option for layoff or quit ( personal or work related) is it option (quit)? What do y’all think is the best option?
@a4 my lawyer is n Texas said yes file and will get it for sure. It's a lump sum so will not have to wait.
@OP I live in Arkansas and applied for the VSP. I was approved for unemployment benefits, but payments will not begin until my severance pay has been exhausted. I had to submit supporting documentation, including emails we received from the company and information I found online, as part of the approval process.
