Laid off from LeeMAH Electronics? Here's exactly what to do next.

If you were laid off from LeeMAH Electronics, the most time-sensitive thing you can do is file for unemployment with California EDD as soon as your last day is effective. Benefits are generally not paid retroactively, so filing in the first week protects income you can't get back. Everything else — severance, health coverage, the search — follows from there.

The LeeMAH Electronics WARN filing(s)

This is the public record filed with California EDD under the WARN Act:

Source: California EDD WARN report (public record). Reported figures total 212 affected positions. “Notice date” is the notice date as published in the state WARN report; “effective date” is the date the layoff or closure begins. View the official California WARN report.

What to do if you were laid off from LeeMAH Electronics

1. File for unemployment now. Start your claim with California EDD: https://edd.ca.gov/en/unemployment/. Don't wait for paperwork to settle.
2. Check your final pay. California generally requires your final wages — including unused vacation — to be paid right away when you're laid off; late final pay can carry waiting-time penalties.
3. Read any severance before you sign. California's EDD generally does not reduce unemployment benefits because you received severance, but how and when it's paid can matter — confirm your situation with EDD. 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 California WARN rights.
