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

They called a meeting on Monday and 16 of us were let go. I had been there 16 years. I am in Kansas City, in case local advice matters. I have not told my family yet. Which steps were urgent?

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
