Tough call. Probably the wisest thing would be to keep the money just in case you need to fall back on it. You should immediately start looking for another job though as March will come real quick.

Only you know your personal needs and finances, so you have to make that call. You can also probably collect unemployment too, and it helps somewhat.

Good luck, I know only too well what it is like to be laid off from a job you thought was secure for life.
