Benefit Duration

In the event an eligible Participant is laid off work due to a layoff or reduction in workforce and is awarded unemployment compensation benefits, the Plan provides an additional benefit in arrears for each day of unemployment compensation benefits actually received. Available benefits may continue up to a maximum of 26 weeks (130 benefit days) in a rolling 52 week period beginning on the first day for which unemployment benefits are received. (California unemployment insurance typically will not initially commence until the 8th consecutive day of layoff.)

Additional Supplemental Unemployment Benefit

If you are rehired after initial layoff, then laid off again with unemployment benefits recommencing, additional Supplemental Unemployment Benefit may be applied for subject to the 26 week maximum duration.
