National Career Transition Resource Guide
The first practical step after a layoff or career disruption, in one document, written for the week when reading anything feels like work.
- How and when to file, and the mistakes that delay a first payment.
- Health coverage options between jobs, side by side.
- Nationwide food, housing, and utility support.
- A first-week checklist so you're not deciding everything at once.

Steady Ground: Supporting Someone Through a Layoff
For family members, friends, partners, and trusted peers. Support does not mean taking over. It means helping someone feel less alone while they choose their next step.
- Listen first: what to say, and what to skip.
- Stabilize the basics without taking over.
- Protect dignity through a hard season.
- Stay steady for the long middle, not just week one.
