It’s absolutely not a coincidence. The company knows they can furlough on October 1st and that is what they fully intend to do. Why would they offer someone 30 hours or 60 hours or whatever when they can pay them 0? There will be no more LOAs come October 1st. Just a whole bunch of furloughs. If you’re not in the top 350 or so, you better already be looking for another job.
