In both cases health insurance coverage may be taken in coverage or in a negotiated amount of cash; unemployment will not be contested; signing of a separation agreement is required and accumulated benefits will be paid.
The membership meeting will be held via Zoom due to the high number of positives COVID-19 cases in the Capital Region.
