Layoff happened 16 days ago, feeling lost (Sacramento)

I was let go as an administrative assistant this week and I am still in shock. It has been a long 13 weeks. I have not told my family yet. Which steps were urgent?

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

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