Layoff notice, what does the 60 days mean? - 9 weeks in

My employer announced that the site will close and gave us written notice. This is my first time dealing with any of this. They offered a retention bonus for people who stay. What did the workforce office offer?

Start your search early. I wish I had begun the day of the notice.

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