Under what circumstances WOULD you be entitled to severance pay? Did you expect it? Is it a company policy or did you negotiate to get it in writing when you took the job? Is there a union contract with severance in it?
Unless you can PROVE you should get it, you don't get it.
Also if you stole a lot of money from the company that would pretty much do it Ω

Usually the company can fire an employee for any reason any time. They will sometimes pay severance but they don't have to.

It depends on where you live. In the US most states are Right to Work, which means that you can be fired at any time for any reason with no expectation of compensation.

Unless one has a "contract", generally,
firing carries no severance pay, unless out of generosity by the employer.
I was a recipient once, but there were no rules governing severance pay.
