128, 763 N.E.2d 566 (2002) (holding employees’ receipt of a separation package, paid regardless of whether employees had found new employment and that constituted an agreement by employees not to bring any future claims against the employer, was not “severance pay” and thus did not disqualify employee from receiving unemployment benefits). See AH c. Comm'r of the Dep’t of Emp't & Training, 54 Mass.

In contrast, an agreement by an employee to take payment upon separation in return for the employee’s release of claims against the employer will not disqualify the claimant from receiving UI concurrently with such payment. The benefit year is extended by the number of weeks in which the employee’s severance pay was disqualifying. Comm'r of the Dep’t of Emp't & Training, 36 Mass.

In an exclusive, Oprah Daily reveals the cover for Ma’s highly anticipated collection of short fiction, Bliss Montage, which builds on her earlier themes but also charts its own stylistic path, boring deep into her characters’ interior lives.
A genre-bending novel that melded social satire with dystopian elements, Severance won that year’s Kirkus Prize for fiction and was named a New York Times Notable Book. Ling Ma’s debut, Severance, blazed across the literary landscape when it was published to wide acclaim in 2018.
