Best Answer

An employer should never deduct anything from your paycheck for unemployment benefits. They have to pay the state you work in a payroll tax based on what they pay the employees, etc. You need to ask what the 35% is for, as it may be Social Security, Medicare, etc. which is not involved with unemployment benefits. If/when you lose your job, your benefits will depend on your work history, and other matters the state uses to determine your eligibility. Check with your state's employment office for clarification.

Can you receive unemployment benefits and Social Security benefits at the same time in Illinois?

Yes, but unfortunately, Illinois and Louisiana are the only states that have not changed the law that deducts money from unemployment payments to people who also receive social securityHere's the formula in Illinois -- multiply your monthly social security payment by 12 (months). Divide that amount by 52 (weeks). Divide that amount in half and that's the amount that will be deducted from your weekly unemployment payment. If you have a dependent, usually a spouse, the amount might be a little different. But not by much.Realize the unemployment benefits are reduced, not the Social Security benefits. Your Social Security benefits will continue at the expected rate.Example:$1,200 monthly social security payment x 12 months = $14,400$14,400 / 52 weeks = $279.92 / 2 = $139.96eligible for $385 weekly unemployment payment - $139.96 = $245.04 is your weekly unemployment paymentThis unfair law can only be repealed by the State Legislature. Illinois AARP has made it a priority.
