Standard Form 8 is prescribed by the Department of Labor (20 CFR 609) and given to federal workers by their agency. The form says it is given because the employee has been separated from the job, placed in a nonpay status, or had records transferred to a different payroll office. It explains that federal workers may be entitled to unemployment insurance benefits similar to those of workers in private industry, and that eligibility cannot be determined until after a claim is filed with the state employment security agency. It advises taking the form to the claim, along with a Social Security card, the official notice of separation or nonpay status (Standard Form 50 if available), and earnings and leave statements. The agency fills in its name, code number, address and telephone number in the box on the form.
