I currently collecting unemployment and will be eligible for SS in a month. May I apply for my Social Sucurity while I am collecting unemployment?
They don't affect each other. Florida repealed its statutes allowing unemployment compensation to be offset (reduced) by Social Security benefits. If you qualify for both unemployment and Social Security, you will receive your full check under each program.
Yes, you can collect both Social Security and unemployment benefits at the same time in Utah, but the state will offset your weekly unemployment check by 50% of the weekly value of your Social Security payments.
If you are already receiving social security and are fired can you receive unemployment benefits?
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 South Dakota and Virginia have repealed their offset laws, but still have a provision allowing them to deduct Social Security benefits from unemployment checks when state unemployment funds fall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.
To collect unemployment benefits, contact your local state employment security office, or its equivalent, to file your claim. The Social Security application needs to be through the local Social Security Administration's office, information can be found online.
