Eligibility for unemployment benefits is typically based on whether you have recently lost your job and are willing and able to work. Social Security Income is a federally administered program for individuals with limited income and resources, often due to disability or retirement. Receiving Social Security Income does not automatically disqualify you from receiving unemployment insurance, but it may affect the amount or duration of benefits you are eligible for. It is best to consult with your state's unemployment agency for specific information regarding your situation.
No. If you qualify under each program's guidelines, you will receive a full check for both Social Security and unemployment. Michigan no longer offsets unemployment compensation when you receive Social Security income.
If you are collecting unemployment in the state of Oklahoma you will most likely not be able to collect Social Security benefits because Social Security will count your unemployment as unearned income and not give you any deductions. Without the deductions from income your total income will almost always be too high to receive Social Security Benefits. So, you have to choose. If you are eligible for unemployment then you should take it and forget about your social security income because the unemployment will pay more monthly and while on unemployment in the state of Oklahoma you can receive Medical insurance through O-EPIC / Insure Oklahoma for a very small monthly fee (around $50 a month) The insurance offers $10 Dr visits and $20-$30 co pays on ALL other services ( for example a MRI under O-EPIC would have a flat co pay of $25 with no other bill to come in the mail) You can receive other DHS benefits while on Unemployment in OK such as Medicaid for your children and Food Stamps as long as the total house hold income does not exceed the income guidelines for your family size. I have first hand knowledge of this ....... I was laid off and went on unemployment, I reported my unemployment income to Social Security because I have a disabled child who had received benefits in the past but had lost them only because my income became too high to qualify. I was told that because the unemployment was UNEARNED income it would be calculated differently, leaving my income too high to receive benefits despite the fact that the same amount of EARNED income would qualify him for maximum benefits. I argued that the unemployment was a benefit for working in the passed and should be counted the same as earned income seeings how I earned the unemployment by having a job and had to pay taxes on the unemployment ..... I lost he appeal and my son's SS Benefits. Hope this helps.
Yes, unemployment IS income
Unemployment is income taxable, but does not count for Social Security purposes.No, only earned income (while working) counts toward SS benefits.
Yes, you can receive unemployment when you have other income. Social Security does not count, but 401K disbursement, pension paid on a monthly basis, or any other income may reduce the amount of unemployment you get by the amount of income you receive. Be sure to report income, as heavy penalties may apply if you don't. Check with the Unemployment Office to find out what qualifies. The Related Link below gives more details.
Yes it is taxable income that has to be reported as such on your 1040 income tax return. For the tax year 2009 the first 2400 of unemployment compensation received will not be taxable income that would have to be added to all of your other gross worldwide income and taxed at your marginal tax rate.
AFAIK, Social Security has no impact on your ability to file bankruptcy. In fact, Social Security is excluded from the "means test", so unless you have substantial other income you should be able to file Chapter 7.
