Under the Federal Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, an employer must give you 60 days written notice before you are laid off, and must pay you for these 60 days.
The WARN money is in addition to any severance payments you may be entitled to. Therefore, if you are entitled to 60 months of severance, you will receive 60-days pay for the WARN act and 6 months of severance pay, in addition to any health insurance benefits you may be entitled to
Most states have a state version of the WARN law

If your employer fails to provide you the required 60 days-notice and does not pay you for the 60 days, you may file a complaint with the Federal Department of Labor (DOL). You may also file a complaint with the state agency that enforces this law.
