As I understand it, severance packages are a goodwill gesture. Unless it's included in a contract, there's no obligation to provide anything beyond a handshake. I was given a generous severance package a few years ago that allowed me 90 days of my salary, plus health insurance, but no 401k match. I had a new job by the end of the week, so I effectively increased my salary by 25% for that year.
