Take Action to take after losing your job

File for unemployment benefits that day or the next day online at floridajobs.org

Share the news with your family and friends. Try to be positive, especially when telling children.

Review your separation package and your finances. Decide what monthly expenses you can do without.

Let former clients and contacts know how they can reach you.


Enroll for classes at Broward County's Workforce One or Palm Beach County's Workforce Alliance, or seek other career transition help. Do not pay someone to find you a job.

Check whether you qualify for food stamps. There are restrictions on income and assets. You can prequalify at myflorida.com/accessflorida
