If you were laid off from 80 Acres Farms, the most time-sensitive thing you can do is file for unemployment with Virginia Works (Virginia Employment Commission) as soon as your last day is effective.

What to do if you were laid off from 80 Acres Farms

  1. File for unemployment now. Start your claim with Virginia Works (Virginia Employment Commission): https://www.vec.virginia.gov/unemployed/online-services. Don't wait for paperwork to settle.
  2. Check your final pay. Virginia does not set a single statutory deadline for final pay; final wages are generally expected on or before the next regular payday.
  3. Read any severance before you sign. In Virginia, severance can affect or delay unemployment depending on how it's allocated — file your VEC claim promptly and report any severance. See our guide to severance and unemployment.
  4. Secure health coverage. Employer coverage usually ends at month's end; losing it opens a special-enrollment window. Compare COBRA against a Marketplace plan — see the full after-a-layoff checklist.
  5. Start a focused search. Rebuild your resume around outcomes and apply selectively. Tailoring each application beats mass-blasting one generic resume.

Your WARN notice also means you likely have a 60-day runway between notice and your effective date — use it to line up your next move before the income gap starts. More on your Virginia WARN rights.
