Stimulus checks are not taxable income. Unemployment compensation is taxable income on your federal tax return and on some state tax returns.
Unemployment compensation is taxable on your federal return. Enter your 1099G for unemployment in Federal>Wages and Income>Unemployment
You might need to get your 1099G from the state’s unemployment site.

@dvdgarofalo I re-read your question and realized that you are asking if your Social Security disability benefits are going to be affected because you received unemployment compensation.
From the Social Security site:

Will unemployment benefits affect my Social Security benefits?
Date: April 27, 2020
Unemployment benefits do not affect or reduce retirement and disability benefits. State unemployment compensation payments are not wages because they are paid due to unemployment rather than employment. However, income from Social Security may reduce your unemployment compensation.
Contact your state unemployment office for information on how your state applies the reduction.
Thanks for the reply. I should clarify...
I understand unemployment is taxable as income.
But is it included when calculating Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) for someone who is disabled?
Thank you! Yes, that is what I am looking for. Our posts crossed. Thanks much for the reference. DG
@dvdgarofalo You and I were posting at exactly the same moment! Hope the second reply I sent to you helps.
