Laid off from Procter & Gamble.

Up to 7,000 non-manufacturing roles, about 15 percent of that workforce, under the plan P&G announced on June 5, 2025. Its 10-K sets the end of fiscal 2027 as the deadline. The cut was described as on track in April 2026, and a September 2026 report put P&G at about 104,000 employees.

Local jobs are in scope, with no count on record. The Enquirer put P&G's Greater Cincinnati workforce at about 10,000 in September 2025, mostly office workers, and said an undetermined number of local jobs would go. P&G said site impacts weren't available, and our tracker shows no P&G WARN notice from 2025 on.

No terms for this round are on record. P&G's fiscal 2026 10-K says its separation costs relate to severance packages that are primarily voluntary, calculated on salary levels and past service periods. The Enquirer reported heavy use of buyouts in the 2012 restructuring. The document you're asked to sign sets your actual numbers.

The plan includes supply chain optimization and costs to exit facilities, but the reporting we track names no U.S. plant closure under it. Outside the U.S., P&G substantially liquidated its Argentina operations in 2024 and its Pakistan operations by June 30, 2026.

Generally, yes. Ohio Revised Code 4141.31 reduces a week's benefits by separation or termination pay received with respect to that week, and when nothing designates the period a payment covers, the state attributes your normal weekly wage to each week after you leave until the payment is exhausted. The September 2024 Worker's Guide told people to apply as soon as they lose their job.

In the state where you worked, not where the company is headquartered. Procter & Gamble's biggest U.S. hubs are Ohio, Georgia. Severance usually doesn't block you from filing, and benefits run from your filing date, so file the same week.

Yes. Unemployment insurance is funded by payroll taxes employers pay on wages, the claim never appears on credit reports or background checks, and future employers cannot see it. If the hesitation itself is the obstacle, whether filing is OK has its own article.

Your plan sets the end date rather than the law, so the separation packet is where that date actually lives, and it is often the last day of the month rather than your last day of work. After coverage ends, COBRA lets you keep the identical plan by paying the whole premium yourself, up to 102 percent of what the plan really costs, which lands as several times the payroll deduction you were used to. You get 60 days to elect, counted from the later of coverage ending or the election notice arriving, and electing reaches the coverage back to the day the old plan stopped so no gap exists. How continuation coverage works walks the timing, and whether to take it rather than a marketplace plan is a separate decision.

First pin down how much review time you actually have. If you're 40 or older, federal law gives you 21 days to consider an agreement that waives age claims, 45 in a group layoff, and a waiver signed under a shorter deadline can be invalid. If you're under 40, no federal window applies and the deadline in your packet may be real, so confirm it in writing and ask for more time if you need it. Use whatever window you have to read the release terms, especially non-disparagement and no-lawsuit clauses, and don't stall past a real deadline, because offers can be withdrawn.

Usually yes, though some states delay benefits until severance pay periods end, and lump sums are treated differently than salary continuation. Check your state's rules on our state benefit pages, and file immediately either way so your claim date is locked in.
