Unemployment Legal Questions and Answers

Unemployment

Severance Agreement

California

Asked on May 28, 2023

Severance agreement and unemployment benefits?

I recently accepted a severance package from my employer after they eliminated my position. I am concerned about how this severance agreement may affect my ability to receive unemployment benefits and I would like to understand my rights and obligations in this situation. I am hoping to find out if I am still eligible to receive unemployment benefits and, if so, what is the process for filing a claim.

Gagandeep K.

Answered Jun 30, 2023

In California, you can apply for, and if eligible, collect unemployment benefits even if you received severance pay. Severance pay is a payment for past work so it is not considered wages for unemployment benefits purposes under certain circumstances. However, the California Employment Development Department will evaluate the amount of unemployment benefits you are eligible to receive and may reduce such benefits by the severance pay you receive. You may consider having an attorney review your severance agreement and answer any additional questions.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

View Trustpilot Review

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
