No, because unemployment benefits are not considered earning for any government program. Be cause they are different, you can receive both at the same time without either being affected (accept a few states offset unemplyment by a percant of the SS benefit). See the related Question below, also.

Are your Social Security benefits deducted from your 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 South Dakota and Virginia have repealed their offset laws, but still have a provision allowing them to deduct Social Security benefits from unemployment checks when state unemployment funds fall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.


Can you draw unemployment benefits and Social Security benefits at the same time in Georgia?

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.
