Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Has anyone who took the ER (5th Oct exit) applied and got unemployment benefit in California?

Just wondering if California Early Retirement departees have applied. I hear mixed comments like "Can't get it as you volunteered to go" to "You were forced to leave, intimidated that you would be let go with a smaller LR package". LRs do get unemployment btw. Thoughts or experience?

I asked a friend of mine who used to do customer support in California EDD. I am told that ER recipients are not qualified for unemployment benefit for its voluntary nature. Those who didn't take ER but received LR are qualified. Please contact EDD to double check.
