Family Endeavors Files WARN Notices in Two States: 42 Workers Affected by Dec. 31, 2026
Family Endeavors Files WARN Notices in Two States: 42 Workers Affected by Dec. 31, 2026
Family Endeavors, Inc. has filed WARN layoff notices in two states with the same planned effective date: 27 workers in Maryland and 15 workers in Pennsylvania, both effective December 31, 2026. Together, the two official-source records cover 42 reported workers.
The filings are a reminder that one employer's layoff footprint often shows up as several separate state records rather than one national announcement. Each state's labor agency publishes its own notice, with its own location field and filing status, even when the employer and effective date are the same.
The Maryland filing: 27 workers, statewide
The Maryland record, published by the Maryland Department of Labor, reports 27 workers affected in a statewide layoff, with a notice date of October 29, 2026 and a planned effective date of December 31, 2026. The event type is listed as layoff, and the filing status is unavailable.
The gap between the October 29 notice date and the December 31 effective date is 63 days, just above the 60-day advance-notice period the federal WARN Act generally requires for qualifying layoffs. That timing matters because the notice period is the whole point of the law: it gives affected workers time to look for new work, seek retraining, or arrange benefits before the layoff takes effect.
Notably, this filing is also Maryland's newest official notice date in the Layoff Atlas archive, which lists October 29, 2026 as the most recent official Maryland notice. The location is reported only as "Statewide," with no city or county named, and the published address on the record — 6363 DeZavala Road, San Antonio, Texas — sits outside the filing jurisdiction. That address should not be read as a confirmed worksite; the filing itself describes the affected location only as statewide in Maryland.
The Pennsylvania filing: 15 workers, various locations
The related Pennsylvania record, published by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, reports 15 workers affected across various locations, also effective December 31, 2026. Its notice date is unavailable in the record, so no notice period can be calculated for the Pennsylvania filing, and its filing status is listed as filed.
The Pennsylvania record carries the same San Antonio address, again outside the filing jurisdiction, with a note that the published address's ZIP is not treated as a worksite ZIP. The reported location is simply "Various" in Pennsylvania. As with the Maryland record, the event type is layoff.
Together, the two records describe 42 workers across two states, all with the same December 31, 2026 effective date. They do not say whether the groups work in the same program or division, or whether the layoffs are phased.
Why December 31 keeps appearing
December 31, 2026 is a recurring effective date among the newest filings on the Layoff Atlas homepage. Recent notices from other employers — including a 51-worker filing in Elkhart, Indiana, a 148-worker filing in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and a 634-worker filing in Philadelphia — all share the same December 31 effective date. Year-end effective dates are common in WARN data because employers often align workforce changes with the end of a calendar year or a contract period, though the filings themselves do not state a reason.
Maryland in the national picture
Maryland's archive in Layoff Atlas holds 1,430 non-cancelled imported WARN notices reporting 117,797 workers affected, though that archive total spans many years and includes attributed secondary records alongside direct government filings. In 2026 so far, Maryland accounts for 116 notices and 8,090 reported workers, compared with 151 notices and 12,182 workers in 2025.
Nationally, the Layoff Atlas registry currently shows 686 notices and 66,703 reported workers in its 90-day notice window, with 29 worker counts unavailable. California (17,715 workers) and Washington (17,361) lead the state ranking by reported workers, followed by Illinois (4,385), Texas (3,280), and Georgia (2,492). The heaviest upcoming effective week is the week of November 14, with 8,453 reported workers, followed by the week of November 21 with 6,925.
These totals describe reported plans, not confirmed job losses. Coverage and reporting rules vary by state, worker totals exclude unavailable counts, and missing source coverage is not the same as zero layoffs.
How to read a two-state filing like this one
If you are an affected worker, or you track layoffs in either state, a few checks help make sense of the record:
- Use the effective date, not the notice date, for timing. The December 31, 2026 date is when the layoff is planned to take effect; the October 29 notice date is when Maryland's agency recorded it.
- Do not assume a single worksite. "Statewide" and "Various" mean the filing does not name one plant or office, and the San Antonio address on both records is a published employer address, not a confirmed worksite.
- Check the original document for updates. Filings can be amended, and the record itself notes that dates and counts are the supplied source's reported values.
- Look for the other state's record. When an employer operates in more than one state, a complete picture usually requires checking each state's WARN listing separately.
Family Endeavors' two filings are small beside the largest recent notices, but they show how WARN data actually works: state by state, record by record, with gaps worth noticing rather than filling in.
