Yes, as long as the person can qualify for each program separately. I know, because I also did this myself (and had also collected Social Security while still working at age 67), because I was past the upper age limit that allowed me to collect, regardless of my income. When I was "released from employment", I collected both benefits simultaneously, because I was actively seeking full time employment at the time.. They are separate programs that do not compete with the other.

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.
