I'd have to see the wording in the buyout agreement, because they may view this more as a "resignation" which may deem you ineligible for UI. As an HR person, I'd never deny UI for those people.

We’re investing in additional coverage — particularly of taxes, real estate and food — and additional staff, so even if you don’t go online, you’re getting a better newspaper for your money. And then you can share your digital subscription with someone else in the family who does go online.<br /><br />Adding additional staff?, like adding one person right after forcing 12 to retire.
