Best Answer

If you qualified by way of work history, wages, etc. to obtain it and are willing, able, ready and constantly looking for full-time work, then yes you could collect the benefits. To deny you on the basis of your age alone might be in violation of Federal Age Discrimination laws. However, the shadow obstacle is whether the potential employer had an opening for you

Yes. Age has nothing to do with it. If you qualify, by not losing your job through no fault of your own, you're eligible. ( Note: I was fired at age 67, and was not At Fault, and collected my benefits.)

Can you collect unemployment benefits while receiving Social Security benefits after age 65?

Yes. It has been found, however, that for some reason some states (Virginia, for example ) reduce the amount of your unemployment compensation by the amount of your SS, which they should not because they are 2 separate and distinct programs that have no bearing on the purpose of each other. You should check with your own state for its handling of the matter.


Can you file for social security at age 62 and receive unemployment benefits in Ohio at the same time?

If you are eligible for social security retirement (and I think for your age group the eligible age is 65), go ahead and apply for it while you apply for unemployment at the same time. The unemployment will come in first, and receipt of it shouldn't affect your retirement benefits. You can earn as much as you want outside of retirement.
