Layoff happened 3 days ago, feeling lost (Austin)

They called a meeting on Tuesday and 3 of us were let go. I had been there 3 years. There are 3 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have not told my family yet. Is there a checklist I should follow?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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