If you are at least 62 years old, you can receive federal Social Security retirement benefits and Michigan state unemployment compensation if you have earned the SSA's 40 required work credits and qualify for unemployment under Michigan statutes and regulations. The two programs are independent of each other and may be combined to stabilize your income.
There are two important points to remember if you elect to take early retirement. First, your Social Security benefits at age 62 will be approximately 75% of what you would receive if you file at full retirement age (most likely 66); and second, if you find work and your annual earned income exceeds $14,160 (or $1,180 per month during the first year), your Social Security benefits will be temporarily reduced by $1.00 for every $2.00 earned over the limit.
The SSA will offset any overage by withholding benefit checks, beginning in January of the following year, until the total amount is repaid. This may result in several months or more of zero benefits. You have the option of "unretiring" when you return to work in order to prevent this kind of problem, and can then re-retire at any time in the future.
