One piece of advice: just about every monthly bill you have may be helped


Essentially, almost every company out there is offering deferments on payments during the pandemic. We're talking mortgage, credit cards, car payments, etc. Anything you pay monthly, go to the company's web page and look for information on their programs for coronavirus. You'll still have to pay this money, of course, but three months' deferment on your mortgage after you've been laid off can be a HUGE help.

Apply for unemployment right away, too. There's only a limited amount of time left for the extra federal money, so you want to be able to take advantage of that. Even if you got a severance package, unless you continue to receive checks from your company you are eligible now for unemployment.
