The furthest back that states require work history is the first 4 of the last 5 completed calendar quarters, so 5 years ago would be outside the range of eligibility.

Are unemployment and Social Security related?

One can be unemployed - as defined by USDOL - and never have worked before, or not have worked in 10 years. Unemployed, as a term, could mean anyone who is not employed, ; the retired, school and college students, carers, even prisoners and etc . Those OUTSIDE the workforce (retired, prisoners, active military) can never be called unemployed. as a result of becoming unemployed, that person then makes some kind of claim to the Unemployment departments where they live.

Why can't one collect unemployment if they had paid into it over 40 years to relocate over 300 mile?

You don't collect unemployment based on the years you were employed. Employers ONLY, pay unemployment through the payroll taxes to the state ,which in turn, pays unemployment benefits based on work history, wages earned in the base period (and you or the company re-locating 300 miles sounds like entitlement). Contact your state employment security office for clarification on your qualification. P.S. You pay into the Social Security system, which you can draw on after you turn 62 (minimum)

Can you collect disability after working eight years if you are 72 years old and collect Social Security from your deceased spouse?

You collect disability only if you show that you are unable to perform work, not that you worked as long as you have. If you worked eight years and there are justifiable reasons for quitting, as determined by your state's employment security office then you might be eligible for unemployment benefits. This has nothing to do with the Social Security you are presently receiving.
