Can you draw unemployment benfits if you are on social security and have been let go

(florida)

I’m presently in employment and will be let go in December. I’m seventy years old and drawing social security benefits. Can I draw unemployment benefits also?

Hi,

The question is state specific and in Florida, according to the United States Department of Labor, Florida does not reduce unemployment benefits due to receipt of Social Security benefits.

So if you are 70 and about to be laid off your SSI should not interfere with your receiving unemployment benefits.
