Severance Pay for Part-Time Temporary Position
I get paid hourly with no benefits or any kind or pay vacations or sick leave of any sort. Do I still get severance pay? Or are severances usually only for full-time positions with benefits and all?

Severance pay is a company perk, not a right. They don’t have to pay you jack when they lay you off, except for any unpaid hours and accrued time off that you haven’t used.
As for unemployment, you’ll have to check with your State’s unemployment office regarding the minimum requirements for drawing a check. But that’s not a right, either because you didn’t pay into it, your previous employer(s) did, so there are some rules.
