Can a qualified disaster be considered because of job loss due to outsourcing?

Worked for a company for several years. Job position was outsourced and employees were laid off and forced to withdraw early because payout was under a certain amount.

@kumene  can you be more specific as to what part of the interview or what questions you are specifically asking about to be qualified for a disaster?

Normally:

A federally declared disaster includes (a) a major disaster declaration, or (b) an emergency declaration under the Stafford Act. Federal casualty loss. A federal casualty loss is an individual's casualty or theft loss of personal-use property that is attributable to a federally declared disaster.

So i would say probably NO without any more details.

Sorry, that situation is not eligible for a qualified disaster distribution.
