It depends on many factors. I worked for the unemployment office and if you tell them you are receiving money from social security, they will put your file on hold and go through adjudication, which can take up to 6 weeks. They do not have the capabilities of checking to see if you are on social security, so the best policy is to not say anything... =)

Legally, yes, but it may be a factor in whether you're approved for Social Security Disability (SSDI).

While the Social Security Administration doesn't prohibit people on (SSDI) disability from receiving unemployment checks, state unemployment regulations usually require 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.

Yes. Both Social Security and the State of Nevada allow workers to collect unemployment compensation and Social Security benefits at the same time without applying an offset or penalty to either check.

Bear in mind that you have to be actively looking for, and willing to accept, a full-time job, per your unemployment agreement. You can collect retirement benefits as early as age 62, but you can't actually retire if you're also accepting unemployment compensation.

Yes. As long as you qualify for each, they are unrelated programs that do not affect each other.
