The issue is not with Texas, but with Florida. Florida might charge you with unemployment fraud because you would be drawing their benefits AND the Fed's SSDI. The Social Security Administration investigates very thoroughly before awarding their benefit. If THEY said you wouldn't be able to work due to a disability, Florida's requirements might be violated. If you qualify for SSDI, check to see if you should cancel Florida's benefits.

Eligibility for unemployment benefits is typically based on whether you have recently lost your job and are willing and able to work. Social Security Income is a federally administered program for individuals with limited income and resources, often due to disability or retirement. Receiving Social Security Income does not automatically disqualify you from receiving unemployment insurance, but it may affect the amount or duration of benefits you are eligible for. It is best to consult with your state's unemployment agency for specific information regarding your situation.
