If/when you lose your job, your benefits will depend on your work history, and other matters the state uses to determine your eligibility. Check with your state's employment office for clarification.

Even if your employer does not currently offer this option, perhaps a new procedure can be introduced for the convenience of everyone. You can suggest it.
