Feeling anxious about job security while pursuing my master's degree

I'm feeling anxious about my job security right now. My company has already laid off about half of my team this year, and they've recently brought in Big 4 consultants to take over a lot of the work we used to handle ourselves. While nothing has been officially announced regarding further layoffs, I can't shake the feeling that my position might be in jeopardy. The tricky part is that my company is currently funding my master's degree, and I have about a year left to complete it. If I leave voluntarily, I risk losing that valuable benefit. I feel stuck between wanting to secure my future by looking for a new job and the desire to finish my degree without having to pay for it out of pocket. Right now, I'm weighing my options: should I stay and finish my degree while accepting the risk of being laid off, or should I start applying for new jobs now before I get pushed out? I'm really torn and could use some advice on whether to hold on for the tuition benefit or to start seeking new opportunities.
