What to do if you were laid off from The Neil Jones Food Company dba Tomatek

File for unemployment now. Start your claim with California EDD: https://edd.ca.gov/en/unemployment/. Don't wait for paperwork to settle.
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.
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.
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 California WARN rights.
