What people ask about Netflix.
Is Netflix giving severance?
No public source states Netflix's severance terms for this round, so this page does not guess at them. Your own agreement is the only one that applies to you.
I worked remotely for Netflix. Where do I file for unemployment?
USA.gov: “In most cases, you should file for unemployment in the state where you worked instead of in the state where you live. If you worked outside the state where you currently live or worked remotely, contact your home state’s unemployment office to get help with filing a claim in a different state.” Source: USA.gov, Unemployment benefits · checked September 28, 2026
Find your state's unemployment office (CareerOneStop, sponsored by the US Department of Labor). If you worked at Netflix's site on record, that is the Employment Development Department (EDD). Offboard never sits between you and the agency.
Can I get unemployment if I got severance in California?
The EDD states: “Severance pay is not wages for unemployment insurance purposes and does not affect the claimant’s eligibility for unemployment benefits.” The EDD decides every claim. Source: EDD Benefit Determination Guide, TPU 460.35 · checked September 28, 2026
Is Offboard part of Netflix or the government?
No. Offboard is independent of Netflix and is not affiliated with it. Offboard is independent, not a government agency, and claiming your benefits is always free.
Offboard helps people organize their transition and reach official sources. Government agencies and program providers make eligibility, benefit, and approval decisions. Offboard does not replace qualified legal, tax, financial, healthcare, or benefits guidance. We never promise funding. We show you the exact path to find out.
What does Offboard do after a layoff?
Tell Offboard what happened and get a plan that covers the money, the benefits, and the search, in the order they actually matter. Getting started is free.
Work in People at Netflix?
Give the people leaving a real starting point. Sponsoring their transition is self-serve and priced per person, and each person's job-search activity stays private.
