It is illegal to collect unemployment benefits while employed in NYS.
In general, no. In order to collect unemployment, you must be seeking employment, and accepting it when found. While in prison, that's not going to happen.
If you met the work requirements for filing unemployment, then yes you can file for unemployment while on Social Security.
You must be working less than full time, and the details on how much you can earn is in the Related Link below, in the "Receiving unemployment benefits while working" section.
Collecting it would be illegal, as you can not comply with the conditions for receiving it. Return what you received and ask for it to be temporarily(?) discontinued. When you get out, there may be time left in your benefit period (normally 52 weeks to collect a normal 26 weeks of payments) to receive some of the benefits.
You can if you qualified for the unemployment, if your present pay is less than the benefits being paid, and if the state you work in allows it.
Yes. Whether paid while working or liquidated and paid out at separation.
You can file an unemployment claim if you only worked part-time only if you meet the job-searching requirements of your area.
Most states allow working part time while on unemployment, as long as you comply with their other requirements. They usually offset the income against the benefits in the weeks you earn an income.
Social Security is not a solution for unemployment. It was meant for those retiring or disabled and was contributed to while the person was working. Unemployment benefits are paid into the system by businesses for those who lose their jobs.
