Can you collect unemployment if you retire?

Answer 1

"Retirement" is either voluntary(personal decision) or forced (company decision). If you have been "retired" by a company based on age factors set by that company, it would be possible to collect unemployment as it constitutes firing. If you voluntarily left the job and called it retirement, then no, you can't. Contact your local state employment office and inquire. In most states, it isn't a function of the company to make you retire. My mother is still working...at 76... and is covered by the unemployment laws even though she is "retirement age".

If you retired for good, no. You have to be available, ready, willing, able, and actively seeking full time employment in most if not all states. Also it would depend on whether you were even eligible in the first place.

Answer 2

No you can not. You could then collect Social Security benefits. And unemployment does not last forever.

In most states, it isn't a function of the company to make you retire. If you are collecting retirement you can still collect unemployment.

Another answer:To qualify for unemployment in most states, you have to be available, ready, willing, and able to start full time work immediately and searching for work. You also have to report any income you are receiving (which would include you retirement income). If you met all these requirements and the state approved it, you could get unemployment.

Answer 3

It depends which type of work u r doing. but some common type of benefit, u can have. I m giving u some.....

(1) Experience & Knowledge._most important.

(2) Knowing about related work & time management.

(3) Some type of income & other tax exemption.

(4) Pension fund....etc.

Another answer:If you are coming out of retirement, you are the same as any other worker. If you qualify by working 5 quarters, have the sufficient amount of wages and left the job through no fault of your own, then at that time you could be eligible for unemployment compensation.

Answer 5

Retirement means that you have chosen not to work, normally because you have reached retirement age (usually 65) or for any other reason. Unemployment means that you do still want to work but you have not been successful in finding work. So it has to be one or the other. Either you are trying to get a job, or you aren't. Not both.

Answer 6

Good question. If you have exhausted your unemployment benefits and have seriously been looking for work during your benefit period, it sounds reasonable to collect some form of retirement. If you mean Social Security, however, if you meet the requirements for SS, then you can collect it at any time, while working, while unemployed or when no longer looking for work.

Answer 7

This answer depends on a few things. First, it depends on what state you are claiming benefits in (not which one you are living in or received the pension/retirement from). Generally speaking, if you paid into the retirement, then they do not count it against you. If the retirement was 100% employer paid, then they do deduct some or all of your unemployment based on the amount you receive monthly. The only way the unemployment office knows if you receive a pension/retirement is if YOU tell them. They have no other way of finding out and most people are honest and they are the ones that end up getting screwed!

Answer 8

No. Stated in the context you present, retirement means not working for wages again and that violates the condition for receiving unemployment benefits, among other requirements.
