I tried to get a D-10 Visa from immigration today, but I was told that I couldn't apply for it. My Visa expired on February 28th. What documents do I need to apply for a D-10 Visa?

You have to apply before your visa expires. You better leave the country ASAP, every day you overstay your visa is a huge fine.

Immigration extended my stay until my former boss pays me my last month's salary and all of my severance pay.

Expired visa means you need to start the E2 process all over again when you find a new job (possibly with a complete set of new documents as well).

How did they extend your stay? Was your E2 cancelled? Are you on some kind of visa other than a tourist visa?

You could try one approach. There is another visa, a C4. Since they are letting you stay in Korea, you could make a case that they shouldn't have changed your visa to something else (like a tourist visa) if they knew you had problems with your school. Argue that it should have been switched to a C4 instead. Then, see if you can later switch that to an E2.

It's a Hail Mary, but better than nothing and having to get all your documents again.

They extended my E-2 Visa until March 28th. If they extended it until the 28th, can I still apply for a D-10 Visa?

You might be able to get a G-1 if you take Immi a document from the labor ministry showing you've filed a complaint/waiting for your money. However, you might have to go with a Korean as that person would be responsible for you.
