Hi Peter, thank you for this!

I understand that when a company terminates an H1-B worker, the company must offer to pay for the return flight. But what happens if the termination occurred while the employee was overseas and the employee wasn't able to return to the US. Could the employee seek a reimbursement from the company for the costs related to terminating apartment lease early, relocating their residence or storage costs?

I don't think so. The "benefit" isn't a monetary on; the obligation is to help the H-1B worker return home so if the worker is already home, there's no obligation.
