No, it will not affect your Social Security because unemployment has to do with loss of job benefits and the other was taxes deducted from your pay check for use in your retirement. You can even collect Social Security while you are working, if you wanted. However, collecting Social Security may affect your unemployment compensation (at least in Illinois, Louisiana, Utah, and Virginia). These states have an "offset law" whereby using a formula they reduce your unemployment by some amount adjusted because of the SS.

It doesn't. However, Social Security benefits do affect unemployment benefits in 3 states (Illinois, Utah, and Virginia), where they offset unemployment by some portion of the SS benefit.

Of course it does. If you are employed, look on your check stub and see that money is taken out of your check each pay period for social security. That money goes to pay for people that are receiving benefits now. If you are not working and paying that money it creates a deficit in the plan. Where do you think that short fall will come from. Loans, that eventually yours and my grandchildren will pay for. Just think when it's time for them to get benefits, there will not be any, if high employment continue to exist.

Receiving Social Security Income does not automatically disqualify you from receiving unemployment insurance, but it may affect the amount or duration of benefits you are eligible for. It is best to consult with your state's unemployment agency for specific information regarding your situation.

Does being on unemployment affect your credit rating?

No. It does not affect your credit history. However, when you apply for a loan, it is constituted as a form of income and a form of "unstable" income. So, if you are currently collecting unemployment, and are interested in applying for a mortgage, you might get declined. Not because of your credit, but because it's considered income.Another opinion:Yes it does. Periods of unemployment effect your credit score in a negative way. collecting unemployment clearly put you in the light of creditors as being in that "period on unemployment".
