You may not be discriminated for race, sex, nationality, age or sexual preference. If you dyed your hair pink one day, you can be fired if the business operators do not like pink hair. But they will have to pay you unemployment compensation, or rather, it will be deducted from their "account" with the state and will adversely effect their unemployment compensation tax rates on payroll. In this situation, it doesn't matter why the company is discharging you, unless its discrimination. Before getting angry about the company hiring for the position for you, that person might have had more seniority. In the end, the business is still shutting down. What you can do is apply for unemployment compensation. Whenever you are discharged from employment that is no fault of your own, you are eligible for unemployment compensation. I don't know about your state, but most states have a state system for unemployment compensation, and you will be eligible for the compensation for about 6 months. Every state has a different method for calculating your benefits. The higher the business taxes, the higher the benefits (allegedly - but it is true in the case of comparing Maryland to Pennsylvania). If your state does not have such a program, then you will be covered by Federal unemployment compensation (employers either pay to the state program, and if the states does not have one, they are forced into the federal government's program). You will be required to at least try to find a job for those 6 months by filling out forms of who you contacted for a job. Find the unemployment compensation office and get the paperwork started. Once you get notice, you can fill out the forms. As for special notices, that is not true, unless is is a special state law, or you might have seen it in large union contracts. The aim of politics is to keep the populace alarmed and clamorous to be saved by menacing it with imaginary hobgoblins. The urge to save humanity is a false front for the urge to rule it.

If you were severed before the pay started, the pay might be considered severance pay and count towards your unemployment compensation. That sort of thing is complicated. Just make sure all of your bases are covered. The aim of politics is to keep the populace alarmed and clamorous to be saved by menacing it with imaginary hobgoblins. The urge to save humanity is a false front for the urge to rule it.
