I believe this answer is slightly incorrect -- "Yes, you can. Under "Non monetary Issues" > "Disqualifications" item (f) on page 5 of the Related Link below, Social Security benefits are excluded from the disqualifying chargeable benefits you receive." As I understand it, people who live in Louisiana and Illinois and receive social security payments and are eligible for unemployment benefits will have money deducted from their unemployment checks. In illinois, half a person's weekly social security payment is deducted from that person's weekly unemployment check. Illinois AARP has made repealing the social security offset law a priority.

Yes, you can collect both, but your unemployment will be offset by any disability benefits you receive. You also have to be ready, willing, able and actively seeking full time employment to qualify for the unemployment compensation. See the Related Link below for more details.

You must be unemployed UNLESS you are working less than full time AND the gross pay is less than your benefits would be. You also must meet all the other requirements the same as any other claimant.

Does PA have a high rate of unemployment?

The official numbers as of right now are around 8.something and 9.something. These are not the true numbers though. They do not take into consideration People who have lost their unemployment benefits, never collected or couldn't collect, and people working temp jobs. The "official" numbers are only counting those who are currently collecting. THIS COUNTRY IS SCREWED.


Can a military spouse collect unemployment benefits from Louisiana if family has to relocate to another state?

Good luck trying to squeeze any money out of Louisiana...even if you earned it legitimately, worked the qualifying periods and your employer paid everything for UI benefits. Louisiana will string you along for about 6-8 weeks telling you to keep filing and each week they will send you a letter stating that "there is an unresolved issue" with your claim. They will not tell you the issue, nor will they disclose what they are waiting on to you on the phone - if you can ever reach a live person that is - they have one phone number and I am convinced - one person that answers this phone line, which you will wait about 2 hours on hold if you have the patience, only to be told exactly nothing. After tellling you first 4 weeks, it will change to 6, then to 8 weeks, if you do not hear anything, you will be told to...call them back at that same number! Eventually you will get a letter (after filing every week & hoping you get benefits until you get another job at the new duty station). basically saying too bad, so sad, but that your spouse moving is just not a good enough reason for you to leave your job. It was not the employers fault that you left, it was yours and tada you are disqualified! Don't expect anything from Louisiana...they fight hard and write it 'just so' in their books so as to keep all the money that should be rightfully yours.

Can you receive unemployment benefits and Social Security benefits at the same time in Missouri?

Yes, in Missouri, you can receive both unemployment benefits and Social Security benefits at the same time. However, there are some important things to keep in mind: Unemployment benefits are intended for those who are actively seeking work and able to work, while Social Security benefits are for those who are retired or disabled. You must meet the eligibility requirements for both programs. You will need to report your Social Security benefits when applying for unemployment benefits, as the amount you receive may affect your eligibility or benefit amount. If you are receiving Social Security disability benefits, you may be eligible for an Unemployment Extension of benefits once your disability benefits are exhausted, but only if you are able to work. It's important to understand the specific rules and requirements for each program and how they impact each other. You can contact the Missouri Division of Employment Security or the Social Security Administration for more information and guidance on receiving both types of benefits.
