Can I Collect Social Security And Unemployment Benefits In The State Of Ohio With No Penalty?

Can I collect social security at FRA and unemployment benifits in the state of ohio with out any penalty?

Hi. I don't know about Ohio's unemployment regulations, but if you're drawing unemployment benefits from any state it wouldn't have any effect on your Social Security benefits. That would still be true even if you were drawing Social Security benefits prior to full retirement age (FRA).

Best, Jerry
