Laid off this week, where do I start? after 4 years as an accountant

I lost my job as an accountant and I am not sure what to do first. Any experience at all would help. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. Which steps were urgent?

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

File for unemployment right away. Do not wait for severance decisions. The date you file can matter.
