    I was let go as a payroll clerk 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. 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.
