Hello and welcome to JustAnswer.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation and hope I can help.

Yes, the statute of limitations on severance pay is four years in California, since it is the statute of limitations for written contracts.

If you are having trouble collecting severance, it's best to look into filing suit sooner rather than later to esnure that you'll receive the severance per your agreement with your employer.
