Your severance agreement should be offered to the employee during the notification meeting by your HR manager, who will review the details of the document with the employee. This can be a tricky conversation to have, which is why we suggest you have a layoff letter prepared.
All you can do is ask. They'll probably say no but you're bound by the companies severance policy/program but legally it's not a required benefit. BUT keep in mind the company wants you to sign that agreement at the end of the day so you could get more. You could try and use trigger words during your conversation.
