Layoff notice, what does the 60 days mean? - 13 weeks in

I received a formal notice about a mass layoff at my workplace. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I do not know if I should start looking now or wait for severance news. What did the workforce office offer?

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
