Yes, you can collect Social Security and unearned income at the same time. There is no limit to the amount of unearned income (from investments, pensions, rental income, etc.) that you can receive while collecting Social Security retirement benefits. You are limited to how much earned income you can have (from wages or salary) if you are collecting Social Security before you reach your full retirement age, but there is no limit to the amount of unearned income you can have.
