Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

Severance Package

Recently my company has laid off employees in one division with a severance package but at the same time offered to ''pick-up employees for another area of the company with a large cut in salary. If I say 'not interested' to the position will it be considered ''quitting'' for the benefit of unemployment insurance?
