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

File for unemployment now. Start your claim with Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training: https://dlt.ri.gov/individuals/unemployment-insurance. Don't wait for paperwork to settle.
Check your final pay. Rhode Island generally requires final wages by the next regular payday after separation.
Read any severance before you sign. In Rhode Island, severance can affect the timing or amount of unemployment depending on how it's allocated — file your RI DLT claim promptly and report any severance. See our guide to severance and unemployment.
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.
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 Rhode Island WARN rights.
