Im getting laid off next week, I have a questions about severence pay?

(My Original Blog Post: -*http://www.latesttrendsguide.com/?p=2009)

Today we had a meeting to sign paperwork and it was just announced that our severence check will be tax 48%. That seems a little excesive to me. Is this the percentage for everyone or does it matter what you claim? I've never been laid off before so i've never gotten severence pay.
