How We Helped a Client Turn a Layoff Into a Stronger Plan
“Most recently, the company I had grown with had a massive round of layoffs, and I was impacted. There's so many things to think about when that happens, and my biggest concern was making sure I could still provide for myself and my daughters. Greg advised me through my job separation, and we adjusted course with retirement planning. ”

right nowThe Decisions in Front of You
A layoff compresses a lot of decisions into a short window. Here's what tends to have real deadlines:
● Tax treatment considerations for severance pay (lump sum vs. salary continuation)
● COBRA election window requirements
● Options for employer and solo retirement plan accounts (leave in place, self-directed, roll over, or cash out)
● Vesting and forfeiture rules for stock options or RSUs after termination
● Tax withholding elections on unemployment income
These are general considerations — specific ages, thresholds, and deadlines change over time and can vary by situation. We'll walk through exactly what applies to you.
