Laid off from Sodexo (SDH Services East, LLC) HCA Clear Lake? Here's exactly what to do next.

If you were laid off from Sodexo (SDH Services East, LLC) HCA Clear Lake, the most time-sensitive thing you can do is file for unemployment with Texas Workforce Commission 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.

What to do if you were laid off from Sodexo (SDH Services East, LLC) HCA Clear Lake

1. File for unemployment now. Start your claim with Texas Workforce Commission: https://www.twc.texas.gov/jobseekers/unemployment-benefits-services. Don't wait for paperwork to settle.
2. Check your final pay. Under the Texas Payday Law, if you're laid off your final paycheck is generally due within six calendar days of your last day.
3. Read any severance before you sign. Texas (TWC) may count severance or wages-in-lieu-of-notice against unemployment for the weeks it covers, so report severance when you file and confirm treatment with TWC. 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 Texas WARN rights.
