Best Answer

Yes, if you qualify under each program. Both Social Security and the State of Georgia allow workers to collect unemployment compensation and Social Security benefits at the same time without applying an offset or penalty to either check.

Bear in mind that you have to be actively looking for, and willing to accept, a full-time job, per your unemployment agreement. You can collect retirement benefits as early as age 62, but you can't actually retire while you're also accepting unemployment compensation.

According to page 9 of the Related Link below, if you are required to report all earnings each week you are receiving unemployment benefits, it implies you are able to work part time, providing you qualify otherwise and (assumabley) make less than the amount of your benefits.

Yes, they are unrelated programs, so as long as you qualify for each of them individually you can receive both benefits.
