Can you contribute to a Roth IRA if you accept unemployment compensation when your income for the year is in severance and vacation pay?
Dojomo
Yes, that income is all the same as "working" income...vac pay and severance in particular...just paying you for services performed already. Why you would pick a Roth I'm not certain...it really only makes sense if your income from that is so much lower than normal that your tax rate is also much lower than normal. Check the link for more info on IRA qualifications...if you were covered by a 401k this year at the job, you may have some other problems. Best of luck...and congratualtions for being wise enough to think ahead, even with the hopefully short term challanges of work...too many actually make terrible choices - like cashing in 401k and such right now (causing bad tax consequences...and sacraficing the future).

Can you receive termination pay and severance pay?
The payment of the employee's final wages is different from severance pay. Final wages are mandated by law to be paid -- an employee who is discharged must be paid all of his or her wages, including accrued vacation, immediately at the time of termination. On the other hand, severance pay is a special form of compensation from the employer. There is no law requiring an employer to offer or provide such. So in case of termination, the employee may receive both his final wages as well as a severance pay package (if provided by the employer).
