Very sorry to hear it Wolf, and I can't give any practical advice given the differences in our systems.

All I would say is apply for Unemployment Benefit (or whatever you have there) ASAP.
It's unlikely they will backdate it past the date of your claim.
If you sit on your hands for a couple of weeks, those are weeks ticking by that you won't get any money for. In this country it can take MONTHS to receive any benefit. It's backdated (to the date of your claim) but that doesn't help put food on the table in the mean time.

It's worth applying, even if you think you will have a job by this time next week.
Here's hoping you won't need it, but money is money after all.
