Just got laid off, what should I do first?

I was let go as an electrician's helper this week and I am still in shock. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I have not told my family yet. Is there a checklist I should follow?

Give yourself the first couple of days to be upset. I did, and then I felt able to plan.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
