Layoff notice, what does the 60 days mean? (St. Louis)

Our team was told about a closure date that is 6 weeks away. There are 10 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I do not know if I should start looking now or wait for severance news.

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.
