FAQ’s and Common Questions
I just received my severance letter and will lose my job in 30 days, am I still eligible?
Applicants are not eligible for the Comair Discount until they are officially unemployed. However, if you sign up today, you can start searching and applying for jobs immediately. The day you are no longer employed, you become eligible for the Comair Discount and can send in the qualifying documentation for processing.
My company told me they no longer needed me, but didn’t give me a letter, can I still qualify?
Depending on your separation whether it be layoff, furlough, terminations, closures, downsizing, mergers, or bankruptcy, you should receive notice. If you did not, contact your previous employer and request documentation in writing. In some states, employers are required to continue to pay you until they have provided you with official written notice.
I’m a contract employee, am I able to take advantage of this discount?
In order to receive the Cares Discount you have to be unemployed through no fault of your own. If you quit your job you are voluntarily unemployed and are ineligible to receive the Cares Discount. If advance notice of separation is known and agreed upon such as contact positions, early retirement, or resignation, you would not be able to take advantage of this discount.

The program provides members with free access to the Avjobs Applicant System with Premier Job Seeker account privileges from the time of the receipt of your qualifying discount request for one full year (365 days).
