Can you draw Social Security and still draw unemployment in Wisconsin?

Yes. You can draw Social Security retirement benefits and Wisconsin unemployment benefits at the same time. If you are on Social Security disability, you're taking a risk because state of Wisconsin requires all unemployment recipients to be willing and able to accept full-time work. This creates a conflict, because you're generally not eligible for Social Security disability benefits if you're capable of full-time work.
The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development requires you provide your Social Security number, or they won't process your claim (authorized under Internal Revenue Code of 1954, 26 U.S.C. 85, Sections 6011(a), 6050(b), 6109(a), P.L. 98-369, Section 1137(a)(1) and under Wisconsin Statute Section 108.04(2)(e)). The rules clearly state that they will share information about your claim with other government agencies to determine how unemployment affects other benefits you may receive, such as Medicaid and food stamps.
The conflict between simultaneously claiming to be incapable of "Substantial Gainful Activity" (SGA), which generally translates to full-time work, and contractually agreeing you're willing to accept full-time work (under Wisconsin rules) in exchange for unemployment compensation, has the potential to trigger a Continuing Disability Review (CDR), which may result in the SSA determining you no longer meet disability requirements.
If you believe your circumstances may create an exception, you can call the Social Security Administration anonymously at 1-800-772-1213, explain your situation, and ask their advice.
