I was self-employed but had to close down because of the virus situation can I draw unemployment if
Absolutely.
Nope. Unemployment is for when you are not working, If you are driving and getting paid, you are working.
If you met the work requirements for filing unemployment, then yes you can file for unemployment while on Social Security.
According to the Social Security Administration, each state makes its own rules with regard to paying unemployment compensation to laid-off Social Security recipients. In most cases, the answer is yes, you are eligible to receive unemployment benefits while drawing Social Security, but your benefits may be reduced or offset by a portion of your Social Security check.Receipt of any type of Social Security benefit must be reported to your state's Department of Labor Unemployment Compensation Service at the time you apply for unemployment compensation.Contact your local unemployment office for more specific information.

While the total unemployment has decreased to around 9%, many people are working as contractors, with no security at all.
Social Security is not a solution for unemployment. It was meant for those retiring or disabled and was contributed to while the person was working. Unemployment benefits are paid into the system by businesses for those who lose their jobs.

The below Related Link refers to as "if still attached to an employer's payroll not needing to register", apparently allowing unemployment for a temp layoff. You can draw Social Security benefits, regardless of temp layoff or any other employment situation because it is unrelated to employment issues.
No. Once you start working again (especially for 3 or 4 months), your unemployment stops.
Although getting your hours cut might hurt your pocket, that doesn't qualify you for unemployment benefits.

It depends on the circumstances. You should check with your state's employment security office for clarification.
