Does the cab company pay unemployment insurance?

If you are an employee of the cab company because you earn wages, then the company pays unemployment insurance to the state. If you were on straight commission, then they probably do not because commissions do not qualify you for benefits. Each state has it's own requirements as to who pays unemployment insurance.


Are Social Security retirement benefits the only Entitlement Program benefits where individuals and their employers directly contribute money for that sole purpose?

I think the answer is no. The reason I say I think that is because that's not quite exactly how Social Security really works, and if that statement is true of Social Security it's probably also true of, say, unemployment insurance and in some states state disability insurance.


Can you get unemployment benefits if you receive social security benefits in Oklahoma?

If you are collecting unemployment in the state of Oklahoma you will most likely not be able to collect Social Security benefits because Social Security will count your unemployment as unearned income and not give you any deductions. Without the deductions from income your total income will almost always be too high to receive Social Security Benefits. So, you have to choose. If you are eligible for unemployment then you should take it and forget about your social security income because the unemployment will pay more monthly and while on unemployment in the state of Oklahoma you can receive Medical insurance through O-EPIC / Insure Oklahoma for a very small monthly fee (around $50 a month) The insurance offers $10 Dr visits and $20-$30 co pays on ALL other services ( for example a MRI under O-EPIC would have a flat co pay of $25 with no other bill to come in the mail) You can receive other DHS benefits while on Unemployment in OK such as Medicaid for your children and Food Stamps as long as the total house hold income does not exceed the income guidelines for your family size. I have first hand knowledge of this ....... I was laid off and went on unemployment, I reported my unemployment income to Social Security because I have a disabled child who had received benefits in the past but had lost them only because my income became too high to qualify. I was told that because the unemployment was UNEARNED income it would be calculated differently, leaving my income too high to receive benefits despite the fact that the same amount of EARNED income would qualify him for maximum benefits. I argued that the unemployment was a benefit for working in the passed and should be counted the same as earned income seeings how I earned the unemployment by having a job and had to pay taxes on the unemployment ..... I lost he appeal and my son's SS Benefits. Hope this helps.

Yes, if your disability insurance policy has a benefit that is integrated with social insurance benefits.Most employer paid disability insurance policies are integrated with social security benefits, because of the lower premium they have to pay. Individual disability insurance plans can be purchased with or without social security integration. Benefits that are not integrated with social security benefits will not be affected whether you apply or not for social security disability benefits.
