RS 02505.015 When Employment Relationship (ERS) Terminates
A person earns wages only during the ERS. Therefore, do not consider wages as earned
in a period after the ERS terminated. The ERS terminates in the last month that the
employee performs physical services for the employer unless the employee expects to
return to work or is subject to call to render additional service.
NOTE:
For Federal employees who accepted the deferred resignation (Fork in the Road), the
employment
relationship terminates on their resignation date, which would be September 30, 2025,
unless the
employee chose an earlier date.
Accept the claimant’s or beneficiary’s allegation of the date the ERS terminated.
If the beneficiary is unsure when the ERS terminated, confirm with the employer whether
the ERS terminated, the employee plans to return to work or is subject to call.
