my experience with severance packages in large personnel
reductions, 4 weeks of pay per year of service is quite
generous, as is the medical cost allowance.  The story might not
have covered all aspects of the severance package, such as how
the severance payments may impact pension benefit calculations.
For example, is the severance payment included in pension
earnings, or how does the two years of pay impact years of
service? Both of these would have a favorable impact on the
amount of an employees pension.
