Any benefits you get from unemployment insurance will not reduce your Social Security payments. That's because Social Security does not count unemployment benefits as earnings. So the benefits will not push you closer to earnings ceilings that trigger cuts in Social Security benefits for people...

My only question is the Unemployment $600 considered earned income or a gift?

I am from Minnesota. I am 62 and collect social security each month. My ceiling for earned income is around 18,250.00 per year before penalty. My question is will the $600 per week stimulus check be considered earned income and will this hurt me during tax time?
