Theoretically yes, the government will take what you are getting in pension away from the amount they think a person needs to live on per week and if there is a difference they will make this up as the unemployment payment. If your weekly pension income is more than the amount, you will not get any unemployment payment but you will be credited with your national insurance stamp each week (you will need 30 years of stamps to get a full state pension at state retirement age). You will also be entitled to the other unemployment concessions.
If you mean you are collecting Social Security benefits (as the retirement benefits), then yes you can. Only 4 states offset the unemployment benefits by a portion of your SS benefits (Illinois, Louisiana, Utah, and Virginia). Other retirements need to be discussed with your state's employment security office because some are allowed, some modify the benefits, and some are not allowed.
In most states you can, but for which ones and their terms you have to contact your own state's employment security office for clarification.
Absolutely. It is called your "Retirement Pension". You cannot collect "unemployment insurance" monies if you are retired.
I currently collecting unemployment and will be eligible for SS in a month. May I apply for my Social Sucurity while I am collecting unemployment?
You can only collect unemployment benefits from the "liable state", where the employer paid unemployment taxes, so Missouri would not pay you benefits, as you described it.
Yes. They are independent programs that do not affect each other so you can collect both at the same time.
Your spouse cannot collect benefits from your work record until you are collecting your benefits, so if you do not collect until your full retirement age, she cannot collect anything either.
You cannot collect absolute retirement (meaning not returning to work) and unemployment benefits because the latter requires you to, among many things, continuously seek full time employment.
I think you should be able to contact your local unemployment office and ask
Yes, as long as you comply with Florida's regulations concerning the move.
I am 63 and collecting deceased widows benefits through Social Security. I have been recently been terminated from my employment. Can I collect both SS and unemployment?
You can generally still collect unemployment while collecting social security, unless it is social security disability...even then you still might be able to. I worked for the Unemployment Office & just an FYI, they do not know if you are on social security and are unable to check, so if you do not say anything, they will never know.
Because question #19 on ?Florida's application for unemployment addresses Retirement Pensions, it is possible to file when you have one, but it could also affect the amount of your benefits.
If you are referring to "defer retirement benefits" as meaning Social Security benefits, there is no need to defer the decision. As long as you can qualify for each of the benefits individually, you can collect both at the same time. They do not interfere with each other at all. Any other retirement programs would be handled by offsetting unemployment benefits by the employer paid portion of retirements on a weekly basis.
