Do Unemployment Payments Affect Non-Disability Social Security Benefits?
I read your answer about ssdi not being affected by unemployment and $600 a week payments. does that also apply to non diability ssi retirement income as well?
Hi,
Unemployment insurance, including the temporary $600 weekly payments, have no effect on any type of Social Security benefits.
However, just to be clear since you typed in SSI, SSI is the abbreviation used for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which is a needs based benefit administered by the Social Security Administration. SSI benefits are not Social Security benefits, and they aren't paid from the Social Security trust fund. Unemployment benefits can cause a person's Supplemental Security Income payments to be reduced, but not their Social Security benefits.
Best, Jerry
