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?
