To Oklahoma TWU members:
We reviewed the Early Out Incentive Allowance you submitted and based on that alone, it appears individuals taking this option would be preventing an involuntary furlough, in which case we would allow UI benefits based upon those facts. This is not a determination, as notice will go to the employer once a claim is filed and evidence from both the claimant and employer would be examined at that time.
There is also the issue of severance pay, which could be deducted from UI benefits during the week in which it is paid. The claimants will need to report the receipt of severance pay.
