Semi related - If USA and you have a FSA - it is like an insurance policy, so there is no REAL balance. Spend it before you are laid off. Glasses etc.

Sorry to hear you are about to be in a struggle.

Get resume out, and start looking. You will get more if you are employed vs unemployed.

If USA apply for unemployment as soon as laid off. Companies have paid into this pot, you deserve the payout. Not collecting does not leave more for others.
