If one of your adult children were hit with a lay off how much would you be willing to help ?

Enough to keep them off the streets, but not so much that they didn't have an incentive to keep looking.

Ziggy broke the ice, so...I don't have kids, but if I had kids in that situation I suspect I'd probably help just enough to make sure they still had food and shelter but not so much, as Brewer said, to allow them to reduce the urgency of finding another job.
Still, being without any, I recognize my opinion could easily change if I did.
Moemg, how much do you know about their financial situation? Do you know they need help?
If I were more cynical, I'd suggest that being a RN means it's harder to relate to not being able to quickly find a new job.Plus having been a RN for 40 years gives me the personality of always wanting to jump in and help when sometimes I should just lay back and see what happens .

I would be very happy to help your loved ones find more info at the NYS Labor Dept web site.
I am very skilled at researching stuff on the web.
Ask away.
Thanks Freebird , I will pass this info on .
I agree with the previous sentiment by Corporateburnout. I tried to vote for all three...ended up voting to forgo vacation. I would also give my DS my kidney or anything else I had in this world if he were truly up against it.
I definitely want to keep them off the streets and out of the guest suite !
OTOH - as the responsible LBYM adult that I am, I would have to be in dire straits indeed to ask for such assistance. I was vague, but truthful about my situation and my belief that I could probably work it out on my own. They asked again every six months or so for a couple years, which I take as their effort to let me know they were willing to help. I don't see me ever asking for money from them.
