I’m on her side but I’m curious how this plays in court regardless how embarrassing this is to the government.

There's probably a termination clause; but bad faith would get you additional damages and a small chance to argue repudiation of contract.
If the termination clause is weak, then you could claim all 4 years of contract.
Edit:
I havent read the full claim, but the SOC doesnt say whether she received any payment for severance; so perhaps she wasnt provided any when originally terminated.
The claim is essentially 500K+ for severance - roughly a years worth of pay, it seems.
Then there is about 1.1m for bad faith and additional damages.
In the alternative, there is a claim for 1.7m, the balance of the contract.
