Can I get unemployment even though I received severance pay?

unemployment
LISA asked:


I live in Virginia. My employer is downsizing and 8-31 will be my last day. I am getting severance pay but I was wondering will it affect my unemployment? Someone told me that if I wait to file for unemployment a full week after I get the severance pay that it will not affect it, is this true?
Also, My severance pay will be one big check, not payments.
