Personal Taxes

I was taxed at 35% even though I don't make that much money.

Hi, I was let go from my employer and was given a lump sum severance package of $16k. I am curious onto why I was taxed at 35%, leaving me with a net of only $10k ? For the year I wouldn't of even made close to 100k in gross Salary. I would of fallen under the 22 - 25% tax bracket. Thank you for your assistance.
