Personal Insurance: Former Severance Package

December 18, 2011 by Tracy

With so many documents housed in the important documents filing system, I forget about most of them until the day I need them.

In preparing for this post, I pulled out the Separation and Release Agreement, also known as a severance package, from Paul’s former employer. I remember that day.

I was at home with our infant son when Paul called to say he had been served these documents. Knowing it was due to cutbacks rather than his inabilities or work ethic, Paul accepted the offer without any regrets and did not look back.

You see God had already prepared a job for Paul. Months prior to the layoff, Paul applied for a position with the State. Within a week of receiving this severance package, Paul got a phone call informing him that he got the State job.

As I look at this severance package, I am reminded of God’s provision for our family. Not only did God provide a job, he also increased our benefits with retirement options, full insurance coverage, weeks of vacation, and increased salary. Though the layoff might have seemed to be devastating, God directed us from a good situation to a better one. Praise be to the Lord!

Former Severance Package

This former severance package is housed in Box 2 of our important documents. After the summary page and the annual enrollment documents, I have these documents stapled together:

  • Separation and Release Agreement (11 pages)
  • Paul’s notes from Human Resources meeting (1 page)
  • Insurance explanations (5 pages)

Housed behind the annual enrollment documents, this severance package resides. Though I have not needed these documents, I keep them for reference and as a reminder of God’s unfailing work on our behalf. What a comfort to know that God sees the big picture when only the next step is visible.

If you are struggling financially or are working through a layoff, look to your Creator for comfort, wisdom, and provision, for God is good ALL THE TIME.
