No. There really is no such thing as "unused" benefits. If a person pays FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes but dies before he or she can collect benefits, his or her widow or widower and minor children, or adult children disabled before age 22 (if applicable) can collect monthly checks for survivors' benefits.
Able-bodied adult children or those who became disabled after age 22 cannot collect benefits from their mother's Social Security (FICA) contributions. The unpaid amount remains in the Social Security trust fund.

It depends on many factors. I worked for the unemployment office and if you tell them you are receiving money from social security, they will put your file on hold and go through adjudication, which can take up to 6 weeks. They do not have the capabilities of checking to see if you are on social security, so the best policy is to not say anything... =)
