Q

If my employer transfers me to Mexico, would this be considered an “international transfer” for benefits purposes?

A

YES. Any country, other than the United States is considered “international” for benefits purposes.
 

Q

Can I walk away under the “involuntary unemployment” benefit, if I quit or resign from my job?

A

NO. WALKAWAY only covers events that are beyond your control. Your employer must terminate you from your position in order for you to qualify for benefits.
 

Q

I’m in the military. If I am not deployed, but I am assigned to a post outside of the US for the next 2.5 years, could I still qualify for the international employment transfer benefits?

A

YES. As long as you are not deployed and are assigned outside the U.S. for more than 24 months, you may still qualify for benefits.
