Maybe I just need a little more confidence that I won't be jobless for long if I do get the notice.
There are surprisingly many who say that they would even like to receive a package and be laid off, assuming that the package will be enough to meet their needs. Quite the opposite, I don't see the package as the best way to exit...

If you are close to retirement you do NOT ‘usually’ get a severance package plus payment. There is no such thing as a severance package. I know people who wanted to retire and talked to their managers to see if they could be let go with the goal to get that supplemental unemployment benefit package. And the spiteful manager said no. I know other people who told their manager they wanted their name to be considered for the next layoffs. And their manager was fine with the idea. Some management can be spiteful toward older workers.
If you are close to retirement, you usually get a severance package plus payment for the months you would be working up until retirement.
