You should consult with a lawyer. The WARN Act may apply.
Are you protected by a union or contract of employment?
I am not aware of any employees anywhere in the state who are automatically entitled to severance pay, except possibly up to 6 months of unemployment benefits if you otherwise qualify (severance pay will affect such benefits in many cases), or even paid vacation, unless some contract provides benefits to you.
You need to provide specific details to a lawyer for advice you can rely on in this very serious situation.
