If you were laid off in Iowa
Coverage: 83 Iowa notices on file, filed Jan 20, 2026 to Sep 30, 2026, collected daily from the state’s published WARN record (workforce.iowa.gov). A state may publish late or leave out worker counts, so this is a floor rather than a count of every layoff. The WARN Act generally applies to employers with 100 or more workers. See the national tracker for how we collect notices.
