What is Employment Layoff?

Employment Layoff can reimburse prepaid and non-refundable trip costs if a traveler cancels their trip due to involuntary layoff or termination of employment.

Employment Layoff is included by some policies under the Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption benefits. To be covered for Employment Layoff, most policies require that the traveler has worked for the same employer for a specific period of time, typically 1 or 3 years.

Please be aware that coverage and eligibility requirements for this benefit differ by policy. The tables below show the providers that offer Employment Layoff coverage.
