Not sure what your question is. If you need unemployment you should recover 7 weeks which is minus 1 week waiting.

If your employer moves too far and you convince DOL that the new commute would be too expensive or you had other good cause not to go to new location you might get up to 26 weeks of unemployment.

No employer unless union or government has to pay and many do not pay severance to at will employees. Good luck.
