* I received severance; can I also get unemployment? Now, or after the 18 weeks? I was laid off a few years ago, and received 4 weeks severance pay.

Re: [TCP] first time for everything
You will have to check with your local unemployment agency about collecting. I can't remember how it works off-hand, as I'd jumped to independent consulting as quickly as possible (pays better than unemployment, and less bullshoy to deal with). I can't help with the business end of things, unfortunately. But I certainly know the emotional (and financial) rollercoaster that a layoff can create. I was laid off 3 times in 2 years' time.

Re: [TCP] first time for everything
Hi Lisa, Having been laid off myself in the past, I can try to help answer a couple of your questions. In most cases, you can file for unemployment right away if you're no longer working. Your May 15 pay date may throw a monkey wrench into that, but it can't hurt to go down to your unemployment office and try to start the process right away. They should be able to tell you more. The severance pay doesn't affect your ability to draw unemployment--or at least it didn't for me in Illinois 6 years ago. You can probably expect to go through the various stages of grieving for the next few weeks/months, which is perfectly normal. Most people experience it at least a little when they get laid off, even if they think that the layoff is ultimately a good thing. If you want to cry, by all means allow yourself to cry. If you want to get mad, go ahead and get mad. If you want to scream, do it in your car when you're alone or scream into a pillow. It's all part of the healing process. And do yourself a favor by talking about the experience whenever you feel the need (as you did by e-mailing us here). Bottling it up inside makes you get stuck in the grief process rather than helping you move through it. If you find yourself getting depressed or stuck in an angry phase, find someone locally to talk to. I know a bit about chaplaincy because I went through training last week, so I can tell you that an IFOC chaplain is trained to help you talk your way through a situation like this. There should also be counseling resources available either through your community or possibly through your former company. Use whatever is available to you, and don't feel bad about it. That's what they're there for. Donna - CONFIDENTIAL- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential, and may also be legally privileged.

Re: [TCP] first time for everything
Ouch, sorry to hear the news, Lisa. Been there and know how it feels. It sounds like you're going to turn this into a great opportunity -- good for you. Your severance package sounds very good. When my position was eliminated (in 2005), the severance package was 1-week for each year (same package for all employees who were laid off), and we were offered the usual COBRA, which was about $500 per month, if you had no dependents. I worked there for 14 years and would have loved the 2-weeks per year! I'm glad to hear other companies are using the old standard. (This was the third time I've been laid off in 20 years, and the first time I received just 1-week per year for severance.) Each state handles unemployment insurance a bit differently. In Arizona, our unemployment info and filing can all be done on the Web. If severance is paid in a lump sum, you can start collecting unemployment immediately. If severance is paid during the company's regular pay cycle (e.g., every two weeks), then you can't collect unemployment until you've received all severance. You already know this, but having a Web presence that produces a lot of search hits is great advertising for a consultant. You might check with your local government agencies that assist those who've been laid off . . . maybe there are some grant funds or other assistance (training, services, etc.) to help you get your new business started. Good luck . . . and take a little time to enjoy yourself! jan. jan e patterson sr technical writer - environmental systems products - tucson, az -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lisa M.

Re: [TCP] first time for everything
In California, if you receive lump sum severance it does not affect your unemployment benefits schedule, but severance received as a salary continuation does (you apply at the end of the continuation). I think this is fairly universal across all states, but check yours. Try the Small Business Administration (www.sba.gov). My experience as a 1099 contractor/consultant was that incorporating didn't offer sufficient advantages to justify it. If you plan on growing your enterprise beyond one person, that might change things. Gene Kim-Eng - Original Message - From: Lisa M.

Re: [TCP] first time for everything
Hi Lisa, With 20 weeks of pay, you've got an excellent chance to get a business going. That's far better than having to rely on unenjoyment benefits from the get-go. Use the time wisely and be frugal with the lump sum payment. Resist the urge to go out and buy something special. People have a tendency to squander sudden wealth. You'll probably find yourself struggling financially for a while--at least until you're able to build your reputation as a contractor. I've heard it said that start-ups should have enough cash to operate for a year to be successful and that two years' worth of operating expenses is a better starting point. You'll have about 5 months to get things rolling. So, stretch that money as far as you can make it go. If you do it right, the disciplined approach will pay off big time in a year or two. If I were to recommend one purchase, it would be to buy a decent computer if you don't already own one. It doesn't have to be top-of-the-line, but I'd go for the most bang-for-the-buck. If what you have will work for you, then hold off until your income is more reliable. Don't forget to make your services known to your former employer. More often than not, from people I've talked to, former employers are eager to bring laid-off employees in as contractors. They can't just let the work go undone. When I was laid off, a local quasi-governmental/business organization offered classes for starting a business. They offered lower tuition (25% of full price) for people who were eligible for unemployment benefits. Make sure you check with your local unemployment office. Look for groups in your community that promote small business training like the Chamber of Commerce, S.C.O.R.E. (Service Corps of Retired Executives--I think), or similar agencies. On top of that, you've got some experience running lists like this. That should provide some good background training for soliciting business. You can do it and I suspect many of us might look at you in a couple of years with a bit of envy in our eyes. We'll likely forget the struggles you're likely to have faced along the way. Best of success and keep us posted. Tom Johnson -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lisa M.

Re: [TCP] first time for everything
You're still gunna talk to us after you make it..aren't ya? I agree with Thomas, you are in a great position to live out your dream. However, I disagree on one point...I'd take the hubby out for a great dinner (play, movie, etc.) as a celebration of your new opportunity. Then, I'd get down to work making that dream a reality. You can do it. After all, you created this list serv. If you can keep this motley crew in line, then running a business should be a snap. I got canned by the world's largest computer company in a RIF nearly a year ago, with no severance and with only one days notice. Today, I am in the midst of negotiating whether I should take a long-term renewable contract for an improved position at a local company, or go for permanent employment at a very reasonable wage. (I've been contracting with this company for over six months and we're a good fit.) My wife and I are now looking to move from renters to homeowners and use the additional space to expand our photography/art print business. None of this would have happened if I wasn't terminated, canned, let go, dropped of the roster Thomas had another good point...keep in contact with your former employer(s). I've kept in contact with virtually everyone I worked with after the termination and those contacts resulted in a number of very lucrative short-term contracts. I still help one of my former clients on the side with documentation and Help creation. Ironically, the excessively large computer company that showed me the door has also contacted me about my availability for a few short-term projects. So...pat yourself on the back, hold your head up high and open the door as wide as you can. It's a wonderful world out there and it has been dropped on your doorstep. Good luck...

Re: [TCP] Grant writing
Hi Donna, Grant writing is completely different than technical writing. The skills you've gained in the past 20 years will definitely help and give you a leg up. But I'd highly recommend taking a course or other training. There are definite tricks you'd learn. Grant writing is more of a selling proposition, rather than an educational proposition (you want to sell your organization so that people will fund grants, yes?). Offhand, I can't think of any classes online although I know they exist. You could check your local community colleges. You may also want to talk to others doing similar things (is there a group you know apply for grants? talk to 'em to see what they recommend). ...sue On 5/1/07, Jones, Donna [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm just starting to dabble my toes in the grant-writing waters to request funding for materials and additional training for local chaplains who will be working within our community.
