If you qualify for SS benefits, they are not reduced by other government benefits, only by wages.

You entered the wrong social security number when applying for a job you got the job and after 3 years was laid off now you cannot claim unemployment as they say there is no record of you having work?

It is surprising that either the employer or social security did not catch the error. You need to go to your past company and get the issue cleared up. Also, check in with Social Security, because your wages weren't reported correctly and that could give you trouble when you go to draw benefits. Once this is done, your unemployment application should work out. It is "just" paperwork.

If you collect unemployment does it reduce your Social Security benefits for the future?

No, not technically. Social Security is technically considered 'insurance', as are unemployment benefits.Unemployment benefits are regulated and provided by your state of residence, while Social Security benefits are under the control of the federal government.The monies you receive for unemployment, however, are generally not taxed, so you are not paying INTO the Social Security system, as you are when you have paid employment. (I have noticed recently, however, that some states give UE recipients the option of having taxes withheld or not. If one does NOT have the taxes withheld will then have to pay them at the end of the year, per their tax return.)Another answer:NOT receiving any unemployment benefits would mean that during the time that they calculate your SS entitlements your average income would be reduced by the zero income in the period you were not paying your SS taxes because of your unemployment. Therefore, any amount you receive from unemployment is a plus even if it only counted as immediate income and not credited to your SS account. So your averages are not reduced by receiving unemployment compensation.CLARIFICATION:Just to clarify. Since Social Security calculates your benefit based on the 35 best years of your working years, if you have a long period of unemployment this could reduce your average wages, and thus potentially reduce your benefits. If you exhausted unemployment benefits and had any "zero income years" that could reduce your average wages even more, and thus the basis for you Soc Sec benefits. However if you had 35 working years total by the time you retire you would be OK since the calculation is based on your "35 best years"

A person could go online to look for an attorney that specializes in Social Security Claims. They could also go to their local Social Services offices and perhaps they would be directed to an attorney who works with only Social Security claims.

How much will you owe at the end of the year when on social security disability?

Don't quote me on this as I really don't know for sure, but I'm on SSDI, and if I were to get a job that pays well enough for Social Security to say that I don't need them to pay me anymore, I wouldn't expect them to say that all of the checks that Social Security gave me in the past seven years, I would have to pay back. which would be somewhere in the ballpark of $63,000. There would be no way I could ever pay that amount back. Now if Social Security was paying me my checks for all these years and then found out that I was working and getting paid enough where Social Security wouldn't need to pay me and I wasn't telling Social Security, then I believe that Social Security would have me pay the amount that Social Security gave me and if I didn't pay it back, Social Security would sue me.
