If you aren’t relocating, did they term you? I was asked to fill out the form and the only option was voluntary resignation. If they term you would you qualify for unemployment? For the CIP?
It’s hard to interpret the plan documents.

Yes. Move or consider yourself let go.
There has been much “HR speak” literature around this since the transformation - you know - the one where we waited a year for them to determine if we had a job or not. …. Sad but true.
Don't sign anything without consulting a qualified attorney.
I once moved from SoCal to NorCal due to spouse’s relocation. Was told that since my employer did have facility in new location and it was over 500 miles away, I’d get unemployment.
Check your state.
LMAO at the person who used the term "severance" in this context, lol
Must be nice to be from "everyone gets a trophy" land.
For those who have not submitted a resignation, ask the questions about CIP and unemployment before you submit. They understand the plans and won’t work it to your benefit. Not sure if you will be able to get them to term you but it would be beneficial. Too late for me but someone else might be able to benefit
If they term you yes you are eligible for unemployment, but know it’s at a faction of what you make now. In TX it’s a max of $577 per week. CIP could be paid out at a prorated amount if you leave after April 1. Corp does have the ability to decide not to pay out CIP
If they provided advance notice, offered a comparable job in the new location, and offered moving assistance, then they likely are not legally required to provide severance but may depending on Company policy.
@OP Your mileage may vary, but generally if it’s in state, you are voluntarily quitting if you don’t move. In some cases, same applies interstate.
