Best Answer

Your eligibility for unemployment benefits is not affected by the fact that your spouse is your boss. What matters is whether your boss has been deducting money from your paycheck to pay your unemployment insurance premiums. If the premiums have been paid, then you are insured, and you qualify for benefits.

Unemployment benefits are based on your income not your spouse's. That being said, by law (in the U.S.), the states require the benefit receiver to report all income he (i.e. his household) receives, under penalty for non-reporting. Once reported allowances are then made as to the calculation of whether the benefit is adjusted or not.

In non-U.S. countries:

CERTAIN unemployment benefits are payed for 182 days based on your previous (employed) contributions 'contribution-based Job-seeker's Allowance'.

However, after this period you will move onto 'income-based Job-seeker's Allowance' and your wife's income will be taken into account in relation to what (if anything) you get when you move onto this.

Sure you can as long as you qualify for the unemployment compensation. Your wife's income would not have any thing to do with it.

Can you claim unemployment benefit after you marry if your spouse is employed?

Whether or not your spouse is employed (or, indeed, whether or not you have a spouse) has no bearing on unemployment benefits in any location I'm familiar with. If you lost your job in a way that would allow you to collect unemployment, then you can collect unemployment. If you didn't, then you can't. It's pretty much that simple.

Does the social security administration recognize marriages after 60 years old?

Generally speaking, the Social Security Administration will recognize a marriage at pretty much any age, even after age 60. But it must, of course, be a legally allowable marriage. However, keep in mind that when it comes to collecting widow or widower benefits from the earnings record of a deceased spouse, you must be unmarried prior to turning age 60. Thus, if your spouse dies and you re-marry before your 60th birthday, you cannot collect widow or widower benefits. But after you turn age 60 you can re-marry and still collect widow or widower benefits from your deceased spouse's record.
