My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Florida

As of April 27th, I will no longer have my job. As a result, I will be filing for bankruptcy as there is no way I can pay all of my debts. I will receive a severance package and the choice to cash in my pension.
I plan on calling a a lawyer but wanted to know quickly if anyone knew if my lump sum Severance will be counted as income since it's not permanent. Basically, would it hinder my filing as Chapter 7? Can they take it?

Thanks.
