You should probably keep working the temp job while seeking full time employment, but definitely report your gross earnings each week, even if sometimes you earn more than the benefit in some weeks.
I don't know in which state you live, but here in VA, our employment commission has a record of every paycheck we receive using our SS number. If you didn't get this pay using your social security number and you cash the check at the PAYER's bank, this money shouldn't be traceable. Morally and legally? That is another question... :-)
Unemployment Benefits are subject to federal taxation, as well as state taxation (depending on the state in which you live). Certain states exempt unemployment benefits from taxation, and there are states with no state taxation, regardless of the income source. The amount you will pay in taxes on $11,000.00 is dependent on factors such as your tax filing status, how many exemptions you claim on your taxes, and whether you will be filing the standard deduction or itemizing deductions.It would be impossible to determine how much your taxes would be on unemployment of $11,000.00 without knowing the state where you received the unemployment benefits, and other filing questions that will affect the amount of taxes you will have to pay. If this was all the income you received for the year, regardless of your filing status or state, you should only have to pay a minimum amount. However, if you found work and the $11,000 is only a small percentage of what you received for the year (adding in your employment income) the amount you pay may be much more. I suggest you contact a tax consultant.
Giving false information or withholding information relating to filing a claim for unemployment you are not entitled to is a felony subject to a fine and/or imprisonment and you have to repay any benefits you received. See the Related Link below for more details.

Not only can you file a tax return with just unemployment benefits, but in some cases you have to. Unemployment benefits are considered income, and as long as your income is greater than the filing threshold, you have to file a return. For 2012 the filing thresholds are $9,750 for single filers and $19,500 for a married couple. You should get a 1099-G [Certain Government Payments] summarizing all of the benefits you received throughout the entire tax year.
More states are allowing people to fill out their unemployment forms online. Check with your local unemployment office before filing a claim.
Because you got a job, you are employed. Filing for unemployment after that fact means you are committing unemployment fraud, subjecting you to fines and possible imprisonment
Unemployment benefits are decided by each state. Depending on where you are filing, you need to check with that state's unemployment office for details.
By definition, filing for any benefits, etc for "unemployment" when you are actually employed is deception and is therefore CRIMINAL.
You have the right to file for unemployment, but if you receive a severance package from your employer you may be violating the terms of your severance package by filing for unemployment.
If you met the work requirements for filing unemployment, then yes you can file for unemployment while on Social Security.
