If one is laid off by their respective job or company, there are a few government benefits that one may receive. One may receive the remnants of a pension plan, severance pay, and welfare from the government if one is unable to find a job.

If someone is laid off from their job, they may be eligible for unemployment benefits provided by the government. These benefits typically provide temporary financial assistance to individuals who are unemployed through no fault of their own. The specific amount and duration of these benefits vary depending on the jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

1.) Go to the boss and get it corrected. 2.) If he says he will NOT correct it, contact your State Unemployment Office (if you live in the USA) IMMEDIATELY and explain your situation. File for your unemployment benefits. If the boss resists, the government will step in and check out the dispute.

I just got laid off by GM. What do I have to do to receive unemployment benefits?

Sorry to hear man. What you will need to do is go down to your local unemployment office and apply. As long as losing your job wasn't your fault, you just have to be able to prove you are looking for a new job and are available to work. If so, you should receive unemployment benefits in about two weeks.
