> How EXACTLY does it work for someone laid off from Twitter, for example? Does the 60 day clock begin the moment they were “laid off” or the moment severance runs out? Does it matter if the company puts them on garden leave instead of immediate lay-off?

EDIT: This apparently is wrong, see downthread; the original text below is preserved for context

When they are no longer legally employed, with legal employment including any terminal leave. (But not extended by severance, even if that is calculated based on pay for a particular time period.)

Here have an immigration lawyer here writing[1] it's not the legal employment end date that matters, but the date productive work ended.

But also it's not clear, and it might be the legal employment end date in some cases.

Shit, by that metric for some of the jobs I have had the hire date and productive work ending date are the same.
