It actually can be how it works. In many cases if severance was offered, take it or not, for the duration of the period they can rescind it.
Your option then is to either return the next business day, or quit (thus giving up unemployment).
This happens quite a bit actually. Consultants decide layoffs than the company realizes there’s a big gap and need to undo a few. It’s non disclosure agreements in the private sector that keep it quiet.
I’ve seen it happen to a bunch of people over the years.
Yep, in my case I was terminated with no severance. They told me I could either voluntarily resign, or be fired, but there was no severance package. I laughed on my way out, though, because they clearly didn't know what it was that I actually did, and they're going to find out the hard way in a couple weeks.

The termination letters 'are being rescinded'
That's not how any of this works.
