§ 2.2-3202. Eligibility for transitional severance benefit.
A. Any full-time employee of the Commonwealth (i) whose
position is covered by the Virginia Personnel Act (§ 2.2-2900 et seq.), (ii)
whose position is exempt from the Virginia Personnel Act pursuant to
subdivisions 2, 4 (except those persons specified in subsection C of this
section), 7, 15 or 16 of § 2.2-2905, (iii) who is employed by the State
Corporation Commission, (iv) who is employed by the Virginia Workers'

(including, but not limited to, presidents and teaching and research faculty)
as defined in the Consolidated Salary Authorization for Faculty Positions in
Institutions of Higher Education, 1994-95, or (ix) whose position is exempt
from the Virginia Personnel Act pursuant to subdivision 3 or, 20,
or 23 of § 2.2-2905; and (a) for whom reemployment with the Commonwealth is
not possible because there is no available position for which the employee is
qualified or the position offered to the employee requires relocation or a
reduction in salary and (b) whose involuntary separation was due to causes other
than job performance or misconduct, shall be eligible, under the conditions
specified, for the transitional severance benefit conferred by this chapter.
The date of involuntary separation shall mean the date an employee was
terminated from employment or placed on leave without pay-layoff or equivalent
status.
B. An otherwise eligible employee whose position is contingent upon project grants as defined in the Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance, shall not be eligible for the transitional severance benefit conferred by this chapter unless the funding source had agreed to assume all financial responsibility therefor in its written contract with the Commonwealth.
C. Members of the Judicial Retirement System (§ 51.1-300 et seq.) and officers elected by popular vote shall not be eligible for the transitional severance benefit conferred by this chapter.
D. Eligibility shall commence on the date of involuntary separation.
E. Persons authorized by § 2.2-106 or 51.1-124.22 to appoint a chief administrative officer or the administrative head of an agency shall adhere to the same criteria for eligibility for transitional severance benefits as is required for gubernatorial appointees pursuant to subsection A.
