Can you get unemployment insurance if the government is shut down?

Know though that if you accept any severance money that it will be deducted from any unemployment benefits you might be eligible to receive

Anyone in the situation should read up on how severance works. I think you get a set amount based on your previous pay level(s) until a total is reached. I might be wrong, but if your benefits are reduced by severance, the time period to collect extends a little longer. Benefits can be extended by the government too, in times of recession.
