Florida does not have state disability benefits.

You can get private disability coverage in Florida. Check your policy to see the integration language relating to social security disability. You can collect on both policies at the same time, however the private policies will offset the benefit to a varying degree.

The two programs are different. Social Security is a Federal program that you pay into from your paycheck, as does the employer, and you are eligible to receive after you turn 62 (unless earlier due to being disabled, which is covered under a different part of the program). The longer you delay receiving Social Security the larger the monthly benefit you would get. The amount you receive depends on your age, how many 'quarters' you worked, and the amount of your earnings.

On the other hand, unemployment security, a state program, comes from contributions paid into the program by the employer and the amount he pays in is a percentage of his payroll based on the employer's turn-over rate of employees (the lower the turn-over, the lower the percentage). This way the employer is encouraged to retain employees in order to reduce his costs. The employee, generally, receives unemployment from the state's collected 'employer's unemployment contribution pool', IF he was laid off, i.e. reduction in staff, etc., or was fired without cause (not caught stealing, harassment, drugs, etc.), or other reasons not due to his own actions. Thus you can both draw Social Security while still working (as I had done) or if drawing unemployment because the reason for drawing both are different, from different government agencies, and for different causes.

Yes, because unemployment and Social Security are not in contradiction, as would be Social Security Disability.

Your unemployment benefit may be reduced if you also receive benefits from Social Security. Social Security has no issues with people receiving income from both sources.

Yes, if you meet eligibility requirements for both programs.

You can generally still collect unemployment while collecting social security, unless it is social security disability...even then you still might be able to. I worked for the Unemployment Office & just an FYI, they do not know if you are on social security and are unable to check, so if you do not say anything, they will never know.
