PostHeaderIcon Can i collect unemployment benefits while collecting social security benefits in California?

patti asked:


I was laid off from my job March 6, 2009 filed my claim in March but didn’t start collecting it until June. At that time I was 64, so I filed for social security to. Because i was not 66 I am limited on what I can earn. My unemployment was going to be over that amount, so when I talked to social security, they said that unemployment is not considered earned income. But does unemployment consider social security earned income?

gabe asked:


I have been receiving foodstamps from my state for a few years now due to being disabled. But I have recently been approve to start receiving Social Security Disability, and Suplemental Security Income. Furthermore, it turns out that Social Security owes me back-pay dating back those few years while I was receiving foodstamps. I have recently applied to receive Qualified Medicare Beneficiary which is also carried by my state. Now, my Welfare caseworker wants me to hand over all of the docements that Social Security has sent me in connection to my benefits, and all information about my back pay benefits. Can my Welfare caseworker turn around and demand me to pay back Welfare for the foodstamps they gave me for those few years? My caseworker and I have a history of arguments about her attitude toward me, and the way she handles my case. So I need to know from you, if you think or know whether or not what she may be thinking about doing is legitament and legal.

PostHeaderIcon Can a Permanently Disabled Veteran collect any Social Security Benefits ?

J Andy A asked:


I was hospitalized at a Military Hospital in 1979, and was subsequently given an Honorable Discharge. The VA granted me a Service Connected Disability at 100% which was deemed as Permanent 100% in 1989.

I am now 58 years old and with all the rising costs of living, the VA Disability Income is not meeting all my living expenses. Is a person in this situation qualified to receive any Social Security Benefits ?
