How to ask for a package

My company just had another round of layoffs. I wasn't entirely confident I would survive, but I did. I also already landed a new job. The layoffs happened about a week ago. I know others at my company were successful last round in doing this, but how do I ask for a layoff package?

"I've had a pretty good run here. And unlike many, I'm in a pretty good spot financially. If it's helpful, I'll take the sevvy and come back when things are solid."
Or just leave. Seriously, no need to be a pig.

Book sometime in HRs calendar (not your managers) and ask for private, confidential conversation. Ask them about getting a severance package but don’t tell them you already have another job.

Might as well stay if you were not laid off? Unless new job pays way more and has better benefits?

Be warned, I tried it in my past and got caught. They recalled my package 😬🥵

"I wasn't a part of the layoffs, honestly my mental state has been pretty bad after the layoffs, would it be possible to give me the package offered to those that were laid off and we can part ways amicably?"
