Just got laid off, what should I do first? (Hartford)

They called a meeting on Monday and 11 of us were let go. I had been there 11 years. I have a box of my things and a short letter about benefits. What did you do in the first week?

Ask for your final pay, unused leave and any documents in writing before you leave, if you still can.

I made a short list: benefits, bills, documents, and then my résumé. One thing each day kept me steady.
