Yes. It has been found, however, that for some reason some states (Virginia, for example ) reduce the amount of your unemployment compensation by the amount of your SS, which they should not because they are 2 separate and distinct programs that have no bearing on the purpose of each other. You should check with your own state for its handling of the matter.
Yes, as long as you qualify for each of them individually
If you're referring to unemployment benefits, you can't continue receiving them if you truly retire. If you mean Social Security benefits, they're Federal and where you live is immaterial to receiving them, so there's no penalty there.
Yes, if you were fired or laid off you can collect unemployment & it doesn't matter if you're drawing Social Security.
Yes.
Yes, you can collect both Social Security and unemployment benefits at the same time in Utah, but the state will offset your weekly unemployment check by 50% of the weekly value of your Social Security payments.
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.
Yes, you can collect them both at the same time.
Yes. Although you must report any earnings you receive while getting unemployment benefits, the Related Link below says you do not have to report the Social Security benefits, meaning it does not affect your unemployment.
Receiving unemployment benefits is not determined by what you want to be, but by your work history, reason for leaving your employer, etc.
To collect unemployment benefits, contact your local state employment security office, or its equivalent, to file your claim. The Social Security application needs to be through the local Social Security Administration's office, information can be found online.
Yes, if you meet eligibility requirements for both programs. New York repealed the Social Security offset regulations that reduced unemployment compensation for people who were claiming both benefits. Both Social Security and the State of New York allow workers to collect unemployment and Social Security at the same time without applying a penalty to either check.
You file a claim with your local Employment Security office in the state you work in.
