Nurses on Layoff. A classified nurse who receives an Employer Contribution, who has three (3) or more years of continuous service, and who has been laid off, remains eligible for an Employer Contribution and all other benefits provided under this Article for an extended benefit eligibility period of six (6) months from the date of layoff. The calculation in determining the six (6) month duration of eligibility for an employer contribution begins on the date the nurse is permanently laid off and is no longer actively employed by the Employer. In the event the nurse, while on permanent layoff, is rehired to any state job classification, the nurse shall continue to receive the employer contribution toward the six (6) months of employer-paid insurance. However, notwithstanding the paragraph above, in the event the nurse successfully claims another state job in any agency and classification which is insurance eligible without a break in service, and is subsequently non-certified or involuntarily separated, the six (6) month duration for the employer contribution toward insurance benefits will begin at the time the nurse is non-certified or otherwise involuntarily separated and is no longer actively employed by the Employer.
