Depends. Usually yes. Let's say person A makes $50K per year and collects $20K per year via SS...They'd still be able (in most states) to collect unemployment insurance if they were laid off or fired.
Thanks, Spatzie. I knew there were some limits and considerations, but I wasn't sure what they were. Appreciate the info.
