Can you receive nys unemployment if you receive a severance package?
Generally you will be disqualified for the amount of time that you receive severance. For example, if your weekly benefits are $400 a week and you earned $1200 severance, then you will be disqualified for a month.
Can an employer take out 401k on a severance package after you cancelled your 401k?
(a) Your unemployment benefits depends on how your severance package is being paid out. If you get lump sum severance, then you are good shape for immediate benefits. But if your ex-company keeps you on payroll until the end of your severance period, then your unemployment benefits MAY not kick-in until you exhaust your severance.(b) I don't think any (early) withdrawal from your 401(k) affects your unemployment benefits - because it is not "earnedincome". Only earned income may affect your benefit.(c) You may be getting the 401(k) match mixed up. Company "match" does not reduce your paycheck - it doesn't affect your paycheck. But be careful about the company match - don't plan for it unless you are sure it is already "vested". Company matches will show up in your 401(k) balance, but it MAY not be yours until vested. Most companies do not automatically vest the match when there is employment separation.

Generall not since unemployment benefits are related to earned income from losing a job.

If you are collecting nys unemployment benefits try a job for one day and find its not a good fit can you continue to collect?
You will need to report the income earned to the unemployment bureau. They will likely reduce your benefits by that amount. So, if you earned $100 your unemployment check for that week will be $100 less. Failure to report the income can result in criminal prosecution for fraud.
Is unemployment checks considered income?
Yes it is taxable income that has to be reported as such on your 1040 income tax return. For the tax year 2009 the first 2400 of unemployment compensation received will not be taxable income that would have to be added to all of your other gross worldwide income and taxed at your marginal tax rate.
Will Social Security go down if you were on unemployment?
Not if you are already receiving Social Security. If you are still in your earning years, your ultimate benefits my reduce as they take the average of your last 40 quarters of earned income (which does not include unemployment benefits) to determine the benefits you receive.
