> Now you have to pay for COBRA but you only have enough money reserves for two months of housing/food.

Upon passage of the CARES act, everyone that loses their job due to COVID is eligible for UI, and the federal UI is now $600/week, on top of the existing state UI. So in the state of California, an ex-Disney employee would receive $4200/month[1].

If you're single, $4200/month in California will more than pay for rent + health insurance + food.

If you're a working couple, together you will receive $8400/month.
