The best choice would be supplemental unemployment benefits as it is designed to help employees when they are temporarily laid off or their hours are reduced due to no fault of their own, such as during a shut down of the company. The other options, such as workers' compensation insurance, supplemental health benefits, disability insurance, or severance pay, are not typically applicable during a short-term shutdown like this.
