Majority of the states, especially the developed ones, help maintain the living standards of their unemployed citizens by providing the unemployed people with unemployment insurance package. Many citizens are not aware about the details and procedure of these government provided packages, therefore, they are not sure if they can file for unemployment if they collect Social Security.
The answer to this question is really simple and easy. The social security benefits, such as the retirement benefits, have no effect upon the individual's unemployment packages. Therefore, there is no restriction on people registered within the unemployed packages, availing the social security benefits, to file for unemployment.
In most of the states, the social security benefits tend to reduce the amount of unemployment benefits. For instance, if an individual is getting unemployment benefits and social security benefits, the amount of unemployment benefits received will be less as compared to the amount of unemployment benefits being given to another person.
Furthermore, the unemployment benefits are not tax evasive. The receiver of these benefits has to pay taxes levied upon them.
The unemployment packages designed by government are intended to provide monetary relief to the workers who have been unemployed through no error of their own. However, this financial relief is only provided to individuals for a particular period of time or till the time the individual finds a job.
As this package is provided by the state under the federal law, the state law determines the eligibility criteria, the amount of benefits being provided and the duration for which it will be provided.
However, in order to classify for this unemployment package, the individual needs to pass a certain criteria. First and the foremost criteria for getting registered with the unemployment program is that the individual shouldn't be unemployed due to his own fault.
Furthermore, it is essential that the individual should be mentally and physically able to work for at least half the day. Therefore, the individual should actively engage in seeking job.
