Depending on your injury (at work or.., and the severity of it), you might be eligible for your state's workman's comp or the SSI (which is for the aged, blind, or DISABLED). See the Related Link below below for SSI information, and your state's unemployment office for particulars if you were injured on the job. If your injury isn't serious, file a claim with the state office.

disability is a benefit for people who can never work again (example) elderly sick,heart surgery,something broken,blind, handicap etc....sounds like you looking for unemployment insurance big diff. * Social Security eligibility is based upon the number of work quarters the person has accumulated, the nature of the injury or illness, and many other factors. Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI), also under the jurisdiction of the Social Security Administration, is for disabled persons who have not been employed or do not meet SSD requirements. RRBD and other governmental disability programs are basically the same as are SSA programs. Private disability insurance is a different issue. The Social Security Administration website has all the necessary information and forms for all SS matters. Social Security Administration, http://www.ssa.gov
