Layoff notice, what does the 60 days mean?, social media manager here

I received a formal notice about a mass layoff at my workplace. I do not know if I should start looking now or wait for severance news. Has anyone been through this?

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

The workforce board ran a rapid-response session for us with résumé help and information on benefits. Ask if yours will.
