Apply for unemployment benefits and for food stamps. Next, take any job, even a job as a laborer. It is better to be employed and make some money, than nothing.

If you have a 401k or some other annuities, you can borrow money against it by claiming financial hardship or take all of your money out, but with tax penalty. If this isn't an option, try seeking employment through temporary job agencies. Eventhough the position you may be offered is temporary, they are pretty quick at finding people employment.

If I were to lose my job tomorrow, without a savings safety net, I would apply for unemployment compensation, which is available to me.
