Plant closing and notice period questions - 10 months and counting

My employer announced that the site will close and gave us written notice. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. They offered a retention bonus for people who stay. What did the workforce office offer?

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

Write down key dates and keep copies of the notice. Mine helped when a question came up later.
