I just got laid off — what do I do in the first 60 days?
“I just got laid off, what do I do”
A dated plan for the first 60 days: the severance agreement, final pay stub and COBRA notice read into terms and deadlines (signing window, final pay, benefit end, COBRA election, marketplace special enrollment, unemployment filing); COBRA compared with marketplace plans for the person's ZIP code and household; the unemployment work-search log kept as the state asks, with a weekly certification reminder; a cash runway from savings, severance and expected benefits; and every deadline on the calendar. The person signs, files and enrolls themselves, and severance questions go to an employment lawyer.
