You could take money out of your IRA at any time (well, maybe, it depends on the exact form of the IRA, so you might want to talk with a tax professional and/or investment counselor first), but if you do so before retirement there are penalties (in the form of extra taxes) for doing so. If you're getting regular payments from your IRA, that implies you're "retired", thus not actually looking for work and therefore ineligible for unemployment compensation.

Yes, though you will have to take an early withdrawal penalty and pay income taxes on the amount you withdraw.

Can you collect unemployment in New York city and contribute to an IRA your parents are legally able to give you a 'gift' of 12000year and you want to put it in an IRA without jeopardizing your unempl?

Your problem is that you can only contribute $2000 or so to an IRA and you have to have income to do it. The remainder of the gift will count as income, and that will not coexist with your unemployment. Perhaps they could keep the gift until you find a job. They won't get the same tax writeoff, but maybe that will work.

To qualify for unemployment compensation you have to have lost your job through no fault of your own, or quit with justifiable reasons.
