Plant closing and notice period questions

Our team was told about a closure date that is 17 weeks away. I do not know if I should start looking now or wait for severance news. What did the workforce office offer?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 11 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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