How do you read that paragraph?
I guess one could qualify for unemployment beenies, according to that paragraph. It looks to me like a release form. You are giving up any (possible) claims against the company, except for unemployment. I'd call the Unemployment Office of your State to verify if indeed one would qualify for benefits.
