Only if it was listened in the original benefits package by the employer. No employer has to give out severance unless they specifically stated that they would when you were hired. This is something to keep in mind when looking for new jobs. It can only be negotiated at the start, so if you want that protection you will need to be proactive about it. The attached link talks more about specifics as well as the the ways in which severance and unemployment aid can intertwine.

The payment of the employee's final wages is different from severance pay. Final wages are mandated by law to be paid -- an employee who is discharged must be paid all of his or her wages, including accrued vacation, immediately at the time of termination. On the other hand, severance pay is a special form of compensation from the employer. There is no law requiring an employer to offer or provide such. So in case of termination, the employee may receive both his final wages as well as a severance pay package (if provided by the employer).
