The company does not owe you anything. But they will likely want you to sign some agreements (essentially saying you will not sue, etc) when they let you go. This will almost
always include some sort of payment. Usually ranges 1-3 months, but if you’re really lucky sometimes they even do 6 months. There is usually no negotiation on this. During the time when you are not working, you can also file for unemployment.

If the severance package is shit can one opt not to sign anything?

What firm?

AFAIK, severance is not codified into labor laws, so it's really at the employer's discretion to offer it.

It’s 100% employer by employer so you can’t really get much if an idea asking here.

Boyfriend has seemed to be dropping a ton on me lately, even after I got bad news that my company is t doing so hot this week and layoffs are approaching. First it was that we may be moving to another state for his job, then it was that his brother may need to move in with us for a few months after he graduates

It’s just a bit overwhelming at this time and I’m not sure how to communicate through all of this being thrown at me. 3 yrs together and we were friends for many years before that.
