<prompt> Human: Hey guys and gals -Long-story short after 19 years at my current employer things have taken a sudden and dramatic turn for the worse and there is a good possibility I will be out of work by the end of January. Having gone through all the stages of grief Im at acceptance and am now trying to plan out what I should do ifwhen this happens. It looks like step one is to file for unemployment within a week of being terminated. I have that figured out. Ive also already looked into health insurance for my family through the marketplace. But Im wondering if there are other things I can do like get mortgage payment insurance or supplemental unemployment insurance ahead of this possible event. It might be too late to get these insurance products.Are there other key steps to take immediately upon termination or anything else I can do to prepare? We already have a substantial emergency savings fund and Id likely be eligible for around 9 months of severance so were not totally under the gun but I want to have a full view of all available options on the table as I really start to plan this out next week. EDIT 1: thanks for responses thus far - I am already looking for a job pretty much from ground zero since I havent been in the job market since 1997. Nothing has come up yet but ongoing. EDIT 2: thanks again for the responses! Beyond job searching is there anything tactically related to unemployment or mortgage payment insurance that I should think about?  <response>: I dont have a checklist, but step 1 isnt filing for unemployment. Step 1 is looking for a new job now, before you get laid off. If your work situation changes you can always say no to the new employer. If they dont, it will mean the difference between being unemployed 3 months or 6 months.
