Settle the practical items: whether health coverage continues during the leave, who pays any premiums, and whether the employer will fund the legal review. If a different filing or a departure becomes necessary, those costs are separate, and government fees should be confirmed at current amounts.
Ask the employer the money questions in writing
Benefits, premiums and any continuation of pay are terms the employer can state clearly when asked in writing, and the answers also inform the immigration analysis by showing what remains of the relationship. Whether the employer reimburses legal costs is a question to put now rather than to assume. Avoid committing to expenses that a change of plan would waste.
Put the money questions in one written request rather than several conversations, and keep the reply. A single message asking whether coverage continues, who pays any premium, whether pay continues in any form, and whether the employer will fund the legal review produces a document that serves two purposes: it settles the household budget, and it shows counsel what remains of the employment relationship. Verbal reassurance does neither.
Confirm any government charge against the current official schedule rather than an amount someone remembers, because those amounts change. Hypothetical example: a machine-parts distributor tells an employee that benefits continue, and the written confirmation reveals coverage ending at the month's end, which moves the whole timeline forward.
