Layoff happened 17 days ago, feeling lost - 11 weeks in

I was let go as a store manager this week and I am still in shock. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. 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.

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