I was recruited and relocated from another state, but was laid off after joining the new company for 2 months due to company down sizing.

That is just awful.  I'm sorry this happened to you.  The law does not entitle you to a severance package.  Your remedies depend on whether you have a written employment contract or your employer's internal policies.  Perhaps one of those speaks to the issue.  If you don't have a contract and your employers' policies are silent on the issue, there's an outside chance that you could negotiate a severance based upon your reliance on a promise of employment.  that promise being "broken" by the employer after you arrived.  It's a tough case and I'd want to see the job offer letters or communications to see if there's anything that helps or hurts your case.
