Best Answer

Yes, if you meet eligibility requirements for both programs.

New York repealed the Social Security offset regulations that reduced unemployment compensation for people who were claiming both benefits. Both Social Security and the State of New York allow workers to collect unemployment and Social Security at the same time without applying a penalty to either check.

Collecting Social Security benefits has no bearing on your eligibility to receive unemployment benefits. The latter depends on many work related issues, including your reasons for quitting in the first place. Your state makes the determination as to whether you qualify for unemployment.
