My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: OR
My company announced that it needed to reduce its workforce by ~95 employees (out of ~300). They offered a severance package to anyone willing to quit. If they did not get a sufficient number of people to accept, they would layoff enough workers to get to the 95 number.
Since I was among the more recently hired, and since my last review was not good (though not bad), I figured my odds of being laid off were pretty high. So I chose the severance package instead.
Not enough people accepted the severance package and the company has announced that it would go through with a small number of layoffs in the near future.
Am I eligible for unemployment benefits?
One more note, for what its worth: the company has declared that they will NOT contest any unemployment claims and actually wrote that into the severance contract.
