Layoff notice, what does the 60 days mean? - 9 months and counting

My employer announced that the site will close and gave us written notice. Some colleagues are already leaving. What did the workforce office offer?

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

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.
