If your employer gave less than 60 days notice, you may be entitled to back pay and benefits for each day of the shortfall. After your last day, file for unemployment insurance with the Vermont Dept of Labor as soon as possible. Review your COBRA options to continue health coverage for up to 18 months.

Vermont has its own layoff notice law on top of the federal WARN Act, the Vermont Notice of Potential Layoffs Act. An employer has to satisfy both, so the stricter rule is the one that applies to you.
Vermont covers employers at 50 employees rather than 100, counts losses across multiple worksites statewide, and uses a split timeline: 45 days notice to the state and 30 days to affected employees.
Federal WARN, for comparison, covers employers with 100 or more employees and requires 60 days notice.
