    Can I recieve PUA and my SSDI benefits. If not who do I call.I don’t want to be in trouble or have to pay back anyone.

      From what read all who got PUA will be paying it all back when they file taxes 2021, and i assume all the money including ssi ssdi ssa retire who got pua adds up on taxes when file everybody knows that one can only get so much and not exceed the limit on benefits so long as you dont exceed the limit ? But the pua is taxable. I think its common sense,.president makes it sound good, buts its not in the end. United States going bankrupt nobody paying taxes anymore, no payroll taxes, no corporate taxes, no taxes on most things . but working lower class must file taxes and yes pay back. You get the apple pie not the cherry pie.

      Hi Bernadette, thank you for your question. Thanks for the question. Unemployment benefits do not affect or reduce Social Security retirement and disability benefits. State unemployment compensation payments are not wages because they are paid due to unemployment rather than employment. However, income from Social Security may reduce your unemployment compensation. Contact your state unemployment office for information on how your state applies the reduction.

      If you’re receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), unemployment insurance benefits are considered unearned income. If you, your spouse, or a child living in your household have any income other than your Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment, including unemployment insurance benefits, you must tell us.

      To learn more about SSI and how income affects your payment, check out What You Need to Know When You Get Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
