If you receive full retirement benefits can you receive early retirement benefits?

You can receive early Social Security Retirement benefits at age 62 but if you income exceeds a specific dollar amount per year ($12,960 in 2007), your Social Security benefits will be reduced by $1 for every $2 earned over that amount. After you reach full retirement age, you will no longer be penalized for your earnings.

At full retirment age 66 can you and your husand collect own separate benefits check from social security?

Yes, if you both earned enough credits to qualify for Social Security, then you can each collect your own benefits. To qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, you must have earned 40 credits (approximately 10 years of work). You can actually collect your own benefit as early as age 62, but you won't receive your full benefit until you reach your full retirement age. Once you are at your full retirement age, you can choose to collect either your own benefit, or the spousal benefit, whichever is higher.

In Michigan if you are able to defer retirement benefits for one year can you do this in order to collect unemployment?

If you are referring to "defer retirement benefits" as meaning Social Security benefits, there is no need to defer the decision. As long as you can qualify for each of the benefits individually, you can collect both at the same time. They do not interfere with each other at all. Any other retirement programs would be handled by offsetting unemployment benefits by the employer paid portion of retirements on a weekly basis.
