Yes you certainly can get both. If you return to work, you must notify Social Security if you make above a certain amount (currently $14,160, but changes yearly), since that will reduce the amount of Social Security benefits you get. There is a credit, however, once you hit full your full retirement age (which is 66 for you) for any month you did not receive a full check. Remember, though, for unemployment, you do have to state you are looking for work.
