Plant closing and notice period questions

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. Should I stay for the bonus?

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

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.
