Answer

H1B status is lost when the job ends. While paychecks are often used as proof of employment, an H1B is not in status just because she is getting a (delayed) final paycheck, severance pay, vacation / PTO payout, etc, after the actual end of her job. There is no grace period at all. (26.Jan.2015)
