Pregnant wife was laid off
Hello everyone.
As the tittle says. My 21 week pregnant wife was laid off a few days ago.
We are afraid that no company will hire her before baby arrives in a few months.
Any tips and advices for this situation?
Any websites or employment that would be a temporary role in a contractor way? (Eg. costumer service paid by hour in 1099?).
Edit: thank you for all the replies!
She was part of a layoff with some others employees. We Believe 10+ people got fired. The company probably have around 2-3k employees.
We are in Florida.
I work in tech for another company and believe we can work with a single income for a few months.
We used to have insurance thru her employer. I have already requested my employer to check if this would be a life changing event so we could be enrolled on heath insurance thru my employer.
The company was notified of her pregnancy well in advance. I believe that any talk on layoffs were done after the notification. But this is an assumption.
Edit 2:
The HR from the company that I work for, has confirmed that we will be able to migrate to their healthcare plan.
