Nope. Pennsylvania is an "at will" state. You can be terminated at any time for a good reason, bad reason, or no reason at all. Unless you have an express (written) contract which provides otherwise, the employer need not give you any notice whatsoever and there is no legal entitlement to severance of any kind.
Your sole remedy is to file for unemployment compensation benefits.
