Great story. Are you interested in any submissions from Canada? I am a financial planner who works with people here to make sure that they don't lose their group benefits when they become unemployed.

Good advice on what to do before layoff. I would add:
a) If you good equity in your home, try to get a line of credit; you might be able to get when you are employed, but not wheh you are out. at less than 4%, you can take care of lot of expenses before you dip into your 401K. I was in that situation in 2003.
b) Reduce your mortgage payment by refinancing to a lower rate. Once unemployed you cannot touch your mortgage.
