Can you collect Social Security and unemployment in Washington state?
No. They ask each week, were you ABLE and available for work. If you are unable to work then you are supposed to notify them and they WILL discontinue your benefits until you notify them that you ARE ABLE to work again. Sometimes a Doctor's note is required to get back ON unemployment, depending on the injury or illness. IMO... If ou are dependent on unemploment right now... I would not tell them about any injuries or illness unless it's really, really serious. They will cut you off. This last part, of course, is just my personal opinion. YMMV.
Can you receive unemployment benefits and Social Security benefits at the same time in Illinois?
Yes, but unfortunately, Illinois and Louisiana are the only states that have not changed the law that deducts money from unemployment payments to people who also receive social security
Here's the formula in Illinois -- multiply your monthly social security payment by 12 (months). Divide that amount by 52 (weeks). Divide that amount in half and that's the amount that will be deducted from your weekly unemployment payment. If you have a dependent, usually a spouse, the amount might be a little different. But not by much.
Realize the unemployment benefits are reduced, not the Social Security benefits. Your Social Security benefits will continue at the expected rate.
Example:
$1,200 monthly social security payment x 12 months = $14,400
$14,400 / 52 weeks = $279.92 / 2 = $139.96
eligible for $385 weekly unemployment payment - $139.96 = $245.04 is your weekly unemployment payment
This unfair law can only be repealed by the State Legislature. Illinois AARP has made it a priority. To help or for more information, please contact Ryan Gruenenfelder at Illinois AARPFor more information, see Sources and Related Links and the Related Question Link, below.
