I am in the middle interview process with few employers and been actively seeking a new opportunity for past few months. I also very recently got laid off from my current position. How and when do I notify to my interviewers about my employment status change without hampering my possibility to get hired? I am in the final interview stage

I wouldn’t tell them at all. Why would you? You’d just have to take the hit on waiting to start unless you tell them you can start immediately and have a story for why you aren’t giving 2 weeks at your former company.

Wouldn’t it show up in my background check? The employment gap?

Your interviewers have nothing to do with evaluating employment gaps. They’re evaluating your skills, experience, and likelihood of being a good fit for the role. Most corporations use a third party background check provider so the people you’re talking to will likely never even see the results of your background. It’s just a pass or fail that comes back to HR. Just be sure to be truthful when providing dates and information to the background vendor and they’ll come back and say your info checks out.

Does this sound like an attractive offer? What exit options would I have?

This job is remote in the US.

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.
