What to do if you were laid off from Perdue Foods Feed Mill

File for unemployment now. Start your claim with NC Commerce (Division of Employment Security): https://des.nc.gov/apply-unemployment. Don't wait for paperwork to settle.
Check your final pay. North Carolina generally requires final wages on or before the next regular payday, by the usual method.
Read any severance before you sign. In North Carolina, severance is generally not deducted from unemployment, but file your DES claim promptly and report severance so the agency can confirm treatment. 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 North Carolina WARN rights.
