Sometimes, certain conditions, typically a change in company ownership, must be met, but often the cause of termination is unspecified. These benefits may include severance pay , cash bonuses, stock options , or other benefits. They are designed to reduce perverse incentives —paradoxically (and ironically) they may create them.

From the way to question is written, it is unclear to me whether you are just asking or if you are in the process of being laid off right now. If the latter, you should definitely get a clear termination letter that spells out exactly when the severance pay ends. If there are any questions insist that they are clarified before you sign it. I've ...
