I wonder if any former SF CRs can come back as an IA after QTD and get paid!

Perhaps the stipulations are not the same in every area. In my area, in systems, it was made clear that we could re-apply for a job immediately after collecting severance. I thought it was insane. Having been laid off by State Farm before, this was not how it worked the first time. But I have an email from HR clarifying that there is "no required wait period."
Not that it matters, as I will not be applying for another job at State Farm.
Yes you can come back as an IA. Lots of people have. The three year thing used to be a hard fact, but that was years ago.
Yes you absolutely can, you are not signing a non-compete therefor you can work for an IA company and work for SF.
Happens every day, as long as you leave on good standing.
I'd double check the severence stipulations. I remember reading you have a 6-month waiting period after your QTD before you can re-apply for a job at SF.
HR has told me that I could apply for a job the next day after collecting my severance. There is no mandatory waiting period. Never mind the IA bit. You could actually come back as an internal if you could find an opening.
I would say it depends. I know people who joined IA firms and got on after retirement. I also know people who left on a Friday and the company was calling them within a few weeks to come back and work as a contract employee in 6 mo increments.
Probably not. In the past, employees had to be severed from the company for a couple of years.
