I guess that would depend on whether or not anything was signed. If they signed paperwork agreeing to this and then took it back the next day, then I would say that they were wrong. If there was no paperwork, then I doubt that you would win any argument to get this. In my opinion, this would be a form of breach of contract if there was paperwork, and then they changed their mind. You should probably talk to an attorney in your state.

It's going to depend on the state where you work. Also if they asked you to do anything for the severance. (For example sign some documents.) Also if they have already handed you a check. In some states you might be entitled to severance if others were laid off prior to you and got a severance. Really we'd need to know more about the details of it, and what state you.
PS- I am not a lawyer, and even if I was I'm not your lawyer.

yes....as long as the employee did not recieve any of it phisicaly. You cant take back actual money but decisions are reverseable. If you can prove that he did it out of spite or something then yes theres something there....but if he was smart he didint say why.

yes, severance is at a company's discretion, they are not required to give it to you.
