Orlando Layoffs: WARN Notices Filed for AmeriHealth Caritas, AssistRx and Hancock Whitney Workers

Three Orlando employers have filed layoff notices with the state since September 30, covering 199 workers in health care, pharmacy services and banking, according to the Florida Department of Commerce’s official WARN list. The most recent Orlando filing came on October 29, when AmeriHealth Caritas notified the state of 61 planned layoffs at its Lake Orange Drive site. Each filing below is reported exactly as the state lists it — employer, address, notice date, layoff dates and jobs affected. A WARN notice is an advance filing of a planned layoff; it is not, by itself, confirmation that a site has closed.

AmeriHealth Caritas — 61 workers, layoffs beginning December 31

AmeriHealth Caritas filed its notice on October 29, 2026, listing 61 employees affected at 2416 Lake Orange Drive, Orlando, FL 32837. The state list gives the layoff dates as December 31, 2026 through April 7, 2027, and classifies the filing under Health Care and Social Assistance. The site sits in southeast Orlando, in the part of the city covered by our Meadow Woods hub. The state listing gives no reason for the layoffs, and this desk does not supply one.

AssistRx — 86 workers, layoffs on November 30

AssistRx, LLC filed on September 30, 2026, listing 86 employees affected at 2400 Sand Lake Road, Suite 200, Orlando, FL 32809, with a layoff date of November 30, 2026 — the soonest of the three Orlando filings. The state list classifies the filing under Manufacturing. November 30 is fifteen days from today, which makes this the filing most immediately in front of Orlando workers.

Hancock Whitney — 52 workers, layoffs in December

Hancock Whitney also filed on September 30, 2026, listing 52 employees affected at 33 W. Pineloch Avenue, Suite A, Orlando, FL 32806. The state list gives the layoff dates as December 1 through December 31, 2026, and classifies the filing under Finance and Insurance.

The statewide filing with no Orlando number

One other October filing names Florida locations without naming a city count. Endeavors, a Texas-based nonprofit, filed on October 29, 2026, and the state list records it as “MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, FL” with 68 employees affected and a layoff date of December 31, 2026. In its letter to the state, included in the filing, Endeavors says all 68 of its Florida-based employees working on its U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families contract — home study and post-release services for unaccompanied children, a contract in place since January 1, 2021 — will be laid off on December 31, 2026, after the Administration for Children and Families declined to renew the contract. The letter says the separations will be permanent, that no bumping rights apply, and that a small number of employees may receive transfer offers, though none had been extended when the letter was written. Its Exhibit A lists the affected job titles, led by case aides (19) and case managers (16 at Level 1 and 13 at Level 2). The filing does not break the 68 down by city, so no part of that number can honestly be assigned to Orlando, and this desk does not assign it. For context only: the state’s most recent filing overall is GEICO’s November 2 notice listing 114 employees at its Lakeland address in Polk County — outside the Orlando metro, and reported here only so Orlando readers are not left thinking it is a local filing.

What a WARN notice is — and what happens next

WARN filings are made under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, which requires covered employers to give advance notice of plant closings and mass layoffs. In Florida the notices go to the Department of Commerce’s Rapid Response unit, which publishes them on the state WARN list checked for this article. Workers covered by a filing do not have to read it here first: the notice goes to affected employees directly, and the state’s Rapid Response program coordinates assistance for workers facing a layoff. Readers following this beat can track every filing in our Jobs & Economy archive.
