Put the question another way: "Do you pay into social security for unemployment benefits?"

The answer is this: "It depends on whom you ask. Some people do; others don't. For those who don't, they have separate retirement plans or financial plans."

Can a retired person collect unemployment if you worked part time and got layed off?

Does unemployment income affect social security payments?

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.

How do younger workers pay for social security benefits to retired workers?

Younger workers pay for social security benefits to retired workers through payroll taxes. A portion of their wages is deducted and paid into the Social Security trust fund. These funds are then used to pay benefits to current retirees. When the younger workers themselves retire, the next generation of workers will contribute to their benefits.


Are your Social Security benefits deducted from your unemployment benefits?

Most states no longer penalize Social Security recipients with unemployment offsets, but five states -- Illinois, Louisiana, South Dakota, Utah and Virginia -- currently reduce weekly unemployment benefits by 50% of your prorated monthly Social Security check. South Dakota and Virginia have repealed their offset laws, but still have a provision allowing them to deduct Social Security benefits from unemployment checks when state unemployment funds fall below a pre-determined threshold. The long recession and high unemployment rate triggered the offset in both states.


Can you collect both unemployment benefits and Social Security in Louisiana?

I believe this answer is slightly incorrect -- "Yes, you can. Under "Non monetary Issues" > "Disqualifications" item (f) on page 5 of the Related Link below, Social Security benefits are excluded from the disqualifying chargeable benefits you receive." As I understand it, people who live in Louisiana and Illinois and receive social security payments and are eligible for unemployment benefits will have money deducted from their unemployment checks. In illinois, half a person's weekly social security payment is deducted from that person's weekly unemployment check. Illinois AARP has made repealing the social security offset law a priority.


Can you get unemployment benefits if you receive social security benefits in Oklahoma?

If you are collecting unemployment in the state of Oklahoma you will most likely not be able to collect Social Security benefits because Social Security will count your unemployment as unearned income and not give you any deductions. Without the deductions from income your total income will almost always be too high to receive Social Security Benefits. So, you have to choose. If you are eligible for unemployment then you should take it and forget about your social security income because the unemployment will pay more monthly and while on unemployment in the state of Oklahoma you can receive Medical insurance through O-EPIC / Insure Oklahoma for a very small monthly fee (around $50 a month) The insurance offers $10 Dr visits and $20-$30 co pays on ALL other services ( for example a MRI under O-EPIC would have a flat co pay of $25 with no other bill to come in the mail) You can receive other DHS benefits while on Unemployment in OK such as Medicaid for your children and Food Stamps as long as the total house hold income does not exceed the income guidelines for your family size. I have first hand knowledge of this ....... I was laid off and went on unemployment, I reported my unemployment income to Social Security because I have a disabled child who had received benefits in the past but had lost them only because my income became too high to qualify. I was told that because the unemployment was UNEARNED income it would be calculated differently, leaving my income too high to receive benefits despite the fact that the same amount of EARNED income would qualify him for maximum benefits. I argued that the unemployment was a benefit for working in the passed and should be counted the same as earned income seeings how I earned the unemployment by having a job and had to pay taxes on the unemployment ..... I lost he appeal and my son's SS Benefits. Hope this helps.
