I confirmed with someone high up that employees who accept the VSP will be listed as “voluntary quit” and not laid off. You should check with your state unemployment department to find out if you will qualify or not. As a part of the VSP, you also may be required to sign a document saying you forfeit unemployment by accepting the severance. I’d check with an employment lawyer though.

@hp Just my 2 cents! We all have our own perspectives. If this isn't your cup of tea, feel free to just scroll on by. It's totally free to ignore, so no need to get worked up over it! 😊
Here you go with this same post content, verbatim, copy/pasting it onto thread after thread, in the Centene section of this site!

You are very determined to try to do some sort of damage control here, by copy/pasting that same B.S. on thread after thread. "Leadership holds all the cards"...LOL
Is that why "leadership" had to backtrack and change the VSP policy, once they saw the deluge of numbers of people who applied for it? Suddenly the "leadership" tone changed from "take it or leave it" (where most people took the offer) to "hey wait a minute guys, we need to change things up a bit here...we need more time to process things."
GTFO with your B.S.
Everyone can see through it, and you're fooling no one.
Honestly, no one knows what leadership will do, and they hold all the cards. Speculating on every rumor isn't going to change the outcome. In the end, it boils down to two options: accept the Voluntary Separation Program (VSP) or risk an involuntary layoff. It’s a financial decision for the company, not a personal one. My best advice is to stop stressing over the noise and focus on preparing for whichever scenario comes your way.
@a3 that's awful.
@OP Missouri looks at it as quitting and likely will try to deny, but can appeal. I'd use that 1st email with stronger scare tactic that involuntary likely to follow if not enough apply.
Depends on in which state you reside.
@ag double check that because I know someone who lives in Missouri and get a severance from another job and was able to get unemployment.
CA will be fine. Max $450 or $405 after federal taxes for 26 weeks.
Missouri is voluntary quit, so hard pass.
thank you for sharing.
here in Florida we will be fine; $275/wk pre-tax max benefit for a maximum of 12 weeks.
