If you qualified by way of work history, wages, etc. to obtain it and are willing, able, ready and constantly looking for full-time work, then yes you could collect the benefits. To deny you on the basis of your age alone might be in violation of Federal Age Discrimination laws. However, the shadow obstacle is whether the potential employer had an opening for you
65
Yes, you can collect from both programs at the same time, as long as you qualify under each one on its own terms.
After the age of 65 you are officially retired; you collect the Canada Pension Plan (and if necessary, the Guaranteed Annual Income Supplement) rather than the Employment Insurance.
If you qualify under all the required reasons, yes. It is not age dependent.
No. If you are really retiring, it would mean you are not looking for full time employment, which is a key part of one's being eligible for unemployment benefits. Merely not being qualified for any other program does not entitle you to the benefits, unfortunately.
Yes. It has been found, however, that for some reason some states (Virginia, for example ) reduce the amount of your unemployment compensation by the amount of your SS, which they should not because they are 2 separate and distinct programs that have no bearing on the purpose of each other. You should check with your own state for its handling of the matter.
If you are eligible for social security retirement (and I think for your age group the eligible age is 65), go ahead and apply for it while you apply for unemployment at the same time. The unemployment will come in first, and receipt of it shouldn't affect your retirement benefits. You can earn as much as you want outside of retirement.
What age? Let's say 65 years old. Treating year of birth as a number (which it is!), just add them: 1979 + 65 = ? You can do it in your head. Or longhand on paper. Or use a calculator.
if you can't collect EI after 65 do you have to pay EI after 65
Don't think so, but go to the social security website for help. You need 40 quarters to collect social security and be 65.
I think it's 65
