YOu cannot receive unemployment benefits at all unless you are available for work and actively seeking work. So, if you are DISABLED, you are not fit for work, and are disqualified from UI benefits.
It's unusual for you to be approved for disability, being on unemployment already. By definition, the 2 programs are contradictory. To draw unemployment, you have to be ready, willing, and ABLE to start work immediately. For disability, they have to establish you are unable to work. Please straighten this out before one of them charges you, potentially, with unemployment fraud.
No. To get disability you have to be unable to work, which is a requirement to receive unemployment benefits, thus contradictory.
Disability benefits are received if you are unable to work. Unemployment is paid if you are able to work and actively searching for employment. These two definitions are contradictory, so you won't be able to legally collect disability benefits and unemployment.
If you are able to work, you can get it. If you can't leave your bed because of a disability, you can't. They expect you to be looking for a job. If you are getting workman's comp disability, you can't get unemployment. You'd have to stop getting the workman's comp if you want unemployment.
Legally, yes, but it may be a factor in whether you're approved for Social Security Disability (SSDI).While the Social Security Administration doesn't prohibit people on (SSDI) disability from receiving unemployment checks, state unemployment regulations usually require all unemployment recipients to be willing and able to accept full-time work.This creates a conflict, because you're generally not eligible for Social Security disability benefits if you're capable of full-time work.For more information, see Related Questions, below.

No you can't collect from both disability and unemployment at the same time. Disability provides income replacement if you are physically unable to work. Unemployment replaces income for those able to work, but out of work due to job loss.
Probably not. One of the qualifications of unemployment is that you be ready, willing, and able to work. As local laws vary you should check with your state's unemployment agency about your specific circumstances and eligibility.

In order to collect unemployment benefits, you must be physically able to work. In order to get disability benefits, you must NOT be able to work. So you can't have it both ways.
Absolutely. To not do so may constitute unemployment fraud. If you are disabled, you may not be able to comply with the requirements of being ready, willing and able to accept full time employment, thus not be eligible for the unemployment compensation.
Because the SSA is very stringent about allowing Social Security Disability benefits, you are most likely to not qualify for unemployment benefits because you have to be able to work, which the SSA had to admit you couldn't.
Don't think so as a worker must be able to work to collect unemployment benifits.
No. I was recently laid off while on disability. The law in Texas says you have to be able to physically be able to work so if you are on disability you can't work. This is NOT correct! Social Security Disability allows you to work even if you are 100% disabled! They limit how much you can earn. (Your unemployment income will NOT reduce your disability payment because SS does not consider it to be employment income!)
