get a lawyer who knows about stuff like this, and have them read the stock options agreement you signed with the company.

  My separation agreement clearly states the company will buy back all stock options. My Stock option agreement says I have 90 days to exercise. Also, I can't afford a lawyer, I'm unexpectedly unemployed.

    If you can't afford a lawyer then your only choice may be to wait. You can always get a free consultation and see what they say. Anything your old work tells you get in writing. If it's, they'll pay out in July, get it in writing. Even if you had a lawyer you're liking looking at beyond July to get anything back if they want to delay.

      Does emails count as "in writing" - I have emails from the CEO that I will be paid out in July (after being told I'd be paid out in April) but nothing is signed, etc.

    Are they in the money? They could be worthless options. That's what happened to me. I had options but they valued them at worthless when I left.

      They are worth about 1-month salary, which is slightly under 10k.
