Work in California on H1B visa. Was laid off on 7/9/21 and received by last paycheck the same day. Want to understand few things .The paycheck I received is dated 7/1 - 7/15/21 but pay prorated for number of days worked in July . They offered 4 weeks pay as severance package, but it looks like it would be a 1 time payment. Asked them to keep me on payroll instead to extend the 60 day period but employer said they cannot do it.
- When does my unemployment period start - 7/9 or 7/15 ?
- For the 60 day unemployment period - Do I need to receive a job offer within 60 days or have my visa transferred within 60 days or satisfy some other condition to not be out of status ?
- Am I eligible to claim unemployment benefits from Cal State. If I do claim would it have any legal repercussions in future for Green Card etc ??
