Severance pay – tenure question

So I just got laid off from my company and they offered me a severance package that I am currently disputing. I worked for this company previously for six years, was gone for three years, and came back to only worked there for a year before I got laid off. When I was rehired, I negotiated to keep my previous tenure, so I would accrue PTO and pay health insurance at my six year rate. That was approved even though the company policy states that if you were gone longer than a year, previous tenure would not apply. My severance package is only based on one year of service. I disputed it and they still came back with the same result. Is there anything further I can do? This is a difference of about $30k, so I of course would like to keep fighting it if I can. TIA
