This actually happened to me at Google in 2019. My position was eliminated and I was given 3 months to find a new role before I was axed. HR was extremely accommodating during this. I had a person to contact and to help keep me on track. I interviewed for a wide variety of teams, and there were tons of openings back then.

Ultimately I found a transfer role, but it was a bit past the deadline. With a couple days ago I went to HR with evidence that the transfer was in-progress and on track, and they extended that time for a couple weeks.

The funniest part was when I asked HR if I should come into the office while I was looking, and HR was like "I don't see why you'd bother".

The infuriating part was that my position was eliminated because the team lead didn't like me. Three weeks after my transfer deadline the position was re-opened. HR didn't really do anything about that, and my new manager asked me not to push on it.
