Reading the Verso WARN Record
Federal WARN Act filings place Verso on record with 2 notices covering 907 workers, spanning May 10, 2019 through Jun 10, 2020. Because the WARN Act only captures events that affect 50 or more workers at sites of 100+ employees, this count sits at the upper band of the employer's layoff activity — smaller reductions, contractor non-renewals, and voluntary separations are invisible to this dataset. The geographic footprint of 2 states, anchored in WI, in the Other Services sector, shapes which state workforce agencies received the filings and which state-level "mini-WARN" thresholds applied.
Averaging 454 workers per notice, Verso's filings fall into a pattern that is consistent with site-level consolidation or a multi-department reduction in force. The 2 notices on file represent distinct events, each triggering a 60-day advance warning obligation that fed into state rapid-response systems.
For workers, the practical layer under these numbers is time: the WARN Act's 60-day notification window triggers eligibility for state unemployment insurance, COBRA health-coverage continuation, and rapid-response services from the state workforce agency that received the filing. Workers on WI-based Verso notices should contact the WI workforce agency directly — response teams, severance negotiation guidance, and TAA (Trade Adjustment Assistance) screening move fastest in the days immediately following a notice. The record above reflects filed notices only; subsequent hiring, rescinded closures, or facility reopenings are not tracked by WARN disclosures.
