You may be able to draw unemployment while recieving SSI, but there is a good possibility that drawing unemployment will take your SSI away.
Unemployment benefits are not "earned income", so you should not be eligible for earned income credit.
In the unfortunate event that you lose your job, you can file for unemployment insurance. Unemployment insurance will provide an income each week that will help with bills and other necessities until you can find a more permanent job. Keep in mind that unemployment insurance only lasts for a set amount of weeks and after the time period is up, you will no longer be eligible to receive benefits. Remember to file each week so that you will receive payment on time.
If you are collecting unemployment in the state of Oklahoma you will most likely not be able to collect Social Security benefits because Social Security will count your unemployment as unearned income and not give you any deductions. Without the deductions from income your total income will almost always be too high to receive Social Security Benefits. So, you have to choose. If you are eligible for unemployment then you should take it and forget about your social security income because the unemployment will pay more monthly and while on unemployment in the state of Oklahoma you can receive Medical insurance through O-EPIC / Insure Oklahoma for a very small monthly fee (around $50 a month) The insurance offers $10 Dr visits and $20-$30 co pays on ALL other services ( for example a MRI under O-EPIC would have a flat co pay of $25 with no other bill to come in the mail) You can receive other DHS benefits while on Unemployment in OK such as Medicaid for your children and Food Stamps as long as the total house hold income does not exceed the income guidelines for your family size. I have first hand knowledge of this ....... I was laid off and went on unemployment, I reported my unemployment income to Social Security because I have a disabled child who had received benefits in the past but had lost them only because my income became too high to qualify. I was told that because the unemployment was UNEARNED income it would be calculated differently, leaving my income too high to receive benefits despite the fact that the same amount of EARNED income would qualify him for maximum benefits. I argued that the unemployment was a benefit for working in the passed and should be counted the same as earned income seeings how I earned the unemployment by having a job and had to pay taxes on the unemployment ..... I lost he appeal and my son's SS Benefits. Hope this helps.
If the reason you left you job was through no fault of your own, you may be eligible for unemployment benefits. If you already had received benefits, you may be eligible for extension of those benefits (depending on your state and its unemployment history). If neither of these conditions existed, then you'd probably have to seek an income outside the unemployment benefits area because unemployment compensation has only to do with loss of job, and not for having no income. Check with your state's human resources department (or its equivalent) for entitlements.
Social Security already has all the work history/wages they need to determine your eligibility (based on the previous deductions from your paychecks) and your unemployment benefits plays no part in their consideration.
State and federal income taxes, FICA (Social Security), UI (Unemployment Insurance) and anything else your state requires.

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.
