I hated losing my job last year, but they provided 1 month for every two years of service up to 12 months (I was 21 years so near the maximum). Also WARN (which I don't know if the government workers qualify) was another two months including benefits. I only collected unemployment for two weeks before starting my new job (at 70% of my old salary).
