Put the question another way: "Do you pay into social security for unemployment benefits?"
The answer is this: "It depends on whom you ask. Some people do; others don't. For those who don't, they have separate retirement plans or financial plans."
Yes, you can collect both. According to the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, neither severance pay nor Social Security benefits reduce your unemployment compensation.
does unemployment check pay into social security
Yes. Unemployment benefits do not count as earnings for Social Security purposes, and do not affect receipt of Social Security benefits. However, they are taxable and must be reported with your tax filing.Yes. They are unrelated programs and do not affect each other.
No, it will not affect your Social Security because unemployment has to do with loss of job benefits and the other was taxes deducted from your pay check for use in your retirement. You can even collect Social Security while you are working, if you wanted. However, collecting Social Security may affect your unemployment compensation (at least in Illinois, Louisiana, Utah, and Virginia). These states have an "offset law" whereby using a formula they reduce your unemployment by some amount adjusted because of the SS.
Yes you can. There is no reduction in your unemployment benefits if you are also drawing Social Security. Like all other claiments for unemployment, you have to be actively seeking work, etc. to qualify for Unemployment. The two systems do not conflict. See the Related Link below for more details.

Most states no longer penalize Social Security recipients with unemployment offsets, but five states -- Illinois, Louisiana, South Dakota, Utah and Virginia -- currently reduce weekly unemployment benefits by 50% of your prorated monthly Social Security check. South Dakota and Virginia have repealed their offset laws, but still have a provision allowing them to deduct Social Security benefits from unemployment checks when state unemployment funds fall below a pre-determined threshold. The long recession and high unemployment rate triggered the offset in both states.
If you are the primary person on Social Security in your family, they pay a $255 benefit. If you are not the above, then no.
Younger workers pay for social security benefits to retired workers through payroll taxes. A portion of their wages is deducted and paid into the Social Security trust fund. These funds are then used to pay benefits to current retirees. When the younger workers themselves retire, the next generation of workers will contribute to their benefits.
