What is “Reasonable Assurance” and why is it important? • Reasonable assurance is a commitment (written or oral) that you will have a job after scheduled breaks or in the next academic term at your school or any other school.. • If you have reasonable assurance, the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) cannot use your school wages • to compute your benefits and you may not have enough wages to qualify for benefits. • If you DO NOT have reasonable assurance, TWC can use your school wages to compute your benefits, so • you may qualify.
Q. Does accepting incentives to resign affect my benefits? • A. If you accept incentives to resign, you might not qualify for benefits. However, if your employer would have laid you off anyway, you could qualify even though you resigned. • Q. Would I receive benefits if I signed a letter of resignation rather than accepting a layoff? • A. You may receive benefits if your employer would have let you go due to budget cuts, regardless of whether you signed the letter of resignation. • Q. What should I do if I get a school job (or get reasonable assurance of • a job)? • You should call a TWC Tele-Center immediately at 1-800-939-6631 • once you have reasonable assurance of a job with a school.
