Layoff notice, what does the 60 days mean? - 11 months and counting

I received a formal notice about a mass layoff at my workplace. There are 3 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. They offered a retention bonus for people who stay. Has anyone been through this?

Write down key dates and keep copies of the notice. Mine helped when a question came up later.

I stayed for the retention bonus and looked for work on the side. It cushioned the gap.
