LAWYERS: Is a temporary contract position comparable to a permanent position in reference to the WARN Act?

The division of the company I work for has been sold effective as of this upcoming Friday. I have been offered a temporary contract position for 1 month after the close of sale. The new company's contract says I MUST work the contract under it's terms (which allows the period to be shortened or lenghted at their will) to receive the severance package. In reference to the WARN act and/or any other applicable laws or statutes, is a temporary contract position comparable to a good-faith permanent position, at the same rate of pay? I thank anyone / everyone with insight into this issue very much.
