Yes, as long as you qualified for both of them individually. Mind you though, 4 states will offset your unemployment benefits by a portion of your Social Security benefits (Illinois, Louisiana, Utah, and Virginia).

Can you collect unemployment benefits while you are on Social Security for widows?

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.
