I’m sure women will be stoked to have Apple relocate them to a state that could kill them.

For those that do relocate, Bloomberg writes they’ll be given $7,000 stipends, while Apple will offer the others four weeks of severance plus another week’s worth per year that they worked, as well as six months of health insurance.

It's a scumbag move to try and frame this as anything other than a layoff, but this seems fairly decent of Apple. Admittedly, I'm not sure how this compares to other severance packages though - can someone give context on how this measures up?

Idk man, whenever I see severance pay it's usually for at least one full year.

In what non-US country is this the case?

You can get severance pay in the US, it's just written into the contract individually, so it is rather rare outside of the C-Suite
