Greg,
Unfortunately, I know absolutely nothing about Calfornia withholding laws (I'm not even that well versed on KS and MO Law!). You may want to check out the following publication (you will need Adobe reader to download):
www.edd.ca.gov/de44.pdf
This is the official rules that California employers have to follow when doing payroll withholding (though trust me, they hire others to figure these rules out). The answer to your question should be here; it is just a matter of decyphering this manual.
It appears that you will have to refer to the California Unemployment Insurance Code to figure how withholding is calculated on severance pay. You can get to a searchable version of the CUIC at:
www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html
For some simplistic information regarding your paycheck, you can also look at:
www.taxes.ca.gov/index1.htm
This is about all I can do for you without entering that sticky area of giving advice. I hope it helps.
