A: You should be able to receive unemployment benefits unless you were let go because of fairly serious misconduct. I do not know if receipt of unemployment benefits would lead to a partial or dollar-for-dollar reduction in your eligibility for disability benefits.
A: You did not specify if your Social Security benefits were Disability benefits or Retirement benefits. Each state unemployment agency has different rules regarding the receipt of Social Security while on unemployment. You should check with your state employment agency for it's rules on this.
