No, Pennsylvania is not one of the fourteen states that taxes Social Security benefits.
100%. You collect your full benefits until you die.
Collecting Social Security would not interfere with your compensation disability
yes
can you collect social security disability due to 2 knee repalcements
Yes, you can. As you said, teachers in Ohio do NOT pay social security. Teachers in Pennsylvania DO pay social security. HOWEVER (and there is a big however), when you start to collect social security, you will take a hit from social security. This is called a Windfall Provision. Spousal benefits are also affected. With that said, PLEASE CONSULT YOUR ATTORNEY AND TAX ADVISOR. I am not an expert.
Yes, if you were fired or laid off you can collect unemployment & it doesn't matter if you're drawing Social Security.
Yes
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 she can.
No. There really is no such thing as "unused" benefits. If a person pays FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes but dies before he or she can collect benefits, his or her widow or widower and minor children, or adult children disabled before age 22 (if applicable) can collect monthly checks for survivors' benefits. Able-bodied adult children or those who became disabled after age 22 cannot collect benefits from their mother's Social Security (FICA) contributions. The unpaid amount remains in the Social Security trust fund.
