What to do if you were laid off from Forest River, Inc.

  1. File for unemployment now. Start your claim with Indiana DWD: https://www.in.gov/dwd/indiana-unemployment/. Don't wait for paperwork to settle.
  2. Check your final pay. Indiana generally requires final wages by the next regular payday.
  3. Read any severance before you sign. Indiana follows federal WARN; severance can postpone or reduce unemployment in some cases — confirm with DWD. 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 Indiana WARN rights.
