unemployment comp and unearned income…

Would withdrawing TIRA $ take away from receiving unemployment benefits? Client has been unemployed since Oct 2009, but over 59 1/2. I wouldn’t think so because the TIRA money would be considered “unearned” income. Any comments appreciated!



You are correct. UC benefits are not affected by investment income, although the investment income including an IRA distribution can contribute to a higher income tax on the UC benefits.
