Layoff Guide — TeamstersSFO.com

While we continue the fight in Washington, DC for a stimulus bill that will include an extension of the payroll support program for airline employees, we recognize that members would like to prepare while negotiations continue. Below is a list of resources to assist Teamsters 856/986 members in navigating the furlough/layoff process.

Furlough Checklist

1) Request a Withdrawal Card from your Local Union
2) File for Unemployment
3) Determine health insurance options
4) Decide how to handle Health Savings Account/Flex Savings Account
5) Search job listings

CARP Information

Involuntary furlough under CARP is considered a distributable event, just like a separation/termination status.

Participants who were actively accruing credited service in CARP and were involuntarily

furloughed, will return to CARP and continue to accrue credited service upon recall. This is regardless of whether or not they have commenced their benefit while on involuntary furlough. If someone is recalled after commencing their benefit while on involuntary furlough, a rehire offset calculation will be done at their subsequent retirement date to offset the original benefit payment. A rehire offset calculation in the simplest terms is taking the original benefit that was paid out and offsetting it from any future accruals when someone returns to work.

For illustrative purposes, if someone is involuntarily furloughed and takes their lump sum

benefit of $50k, later returns to work and works until normal retirement, a final full calculation will be done taking into account all service (pre- and post-furlough), and then the original payout of $50k will be offset from the final payout amount. So, if this person ended up accruing a $200k benefit with all service taken into account, the lump sum payout at normal retirement would be $150k

A leave status typically falls into an “active” status category in which vesting service continues to accrue in CARP, so distribution is not permissible. Layoff isn’t technically a status in the Company’s system, but to the extent it’s considered an inactive/termination status, it would be treated the same as an involuntary furlough in the sense that they would be able to take a distribution if they’re eligible.
