Final Paycheck Timing
Pay is due on the next regular payday.
Open the rule page →PTO & Vacation Payout
Payout follows your written policy, plan, or contract; the handbook language controls the outcome.
Open the rule page →COBRA & State Continuation
Federal COBRA gives 60 days to elect from the date coverage ends or from the notice. Employers under 20 people often fall under state continuation law, and some states extend coverage past 18 months.
Open the rule page →Unemployment & Severance Offset
A lump sum is ignored; salary-continuation payments count as wages for the weeks they cover.
Open the rule page →Mini-WARN Notice Rules
A limited state notice rule exists (narrow coverage or a short window); the federal WARN act reaches covered employers only.

Compare with the other states
Interstate moves change two things at once: the state you file unemployment in and the state that enforces your final check. The severance offset rule you get depends on where you file, not where you worked.
