My company let me go with no reason and is hiring another employee to do my job. They offered severance pay which will be 4 weeks worth of wages because I have been there almost 5 years. I do not want to accept the severance and sue them for a years wages. Is this possible.

It does sound like you have been wrongfully dismissed, but it is highly unlikely (although certainly possible) that you would be entitled to a year's pay if you have worked for less than 5 years. That said, you are likely owed significantly more than you have been offered.
