YES if you own your own business you are not entitled to unemployed while you own it.
I didn't want to delete the response above, but it all depends on your state's rule regarding being self-employed. In general and in most states, if you can prove that you're looking for work and available for full-time work each week, you can be self-employed. Also, you must report all earnings from the business.
Most states will frown on starting a business that takes up all your time even if you don't earn any money from it.
My suggestion is to keep good job search records and try to make at least two to three job contacts each week so that she can prove that she was looking for work while self-employed.

You can generally still collect unemployment while collecting social security, unless it is social security disability...even then you still might be able to.

Do you have to file if you collected unemployment benefits?
Anytime that you need unemployment benefits you have to refile. When you refile you will be advised if you are eligible for benefits. Sometimes you will reopen an existing claim if it is within the same base period that you were collecting in previously, in which case your unemployment amount will remain the same. However, if you have exhausted your previous benefits and not eligible to open an extension, then the unemployment office will use the new base period, and based on the work that you have completed, you may or may not qualify. File asap, because many states will not allow you to backdate your unemployment to when you first became unemployed. You can always file, but you may not qualify.
