The criteria you set out would seem to qualify you. However, each state sets its own criteria for eligibility and, in most cases, you could not receive both short term disability and unemployment simultaneously.
Certainly depends on the specific coverage your speaking of (and some private coverages may cover short periods of unemployment after certain qualifying periods of working in a field), but one basic premise of disability insurance is the disability is keeping you from doing a job that you would be earning an income from.
Generally you can't collect unemployment while disabled because you have to be ready, willing AND able to go to work immediately for full time. Disability makes that impossible, in most cases. If the time frame and every thing else applies, you might after the disability ends.
Yes. Both Social Security and the State of Pennsylvania allow workers to collect unemployment compensation and Social Security benefits at the same time without applying an offset or penalty to either check.Bear in mind that you have to be actively looking for, and willing to accept, a full-time job, per your unemployment agreement. You can collect retirement benefits as early as age 62, but you can't actually retire if you're also accepting unemployment compensation.
You cannot collect unemployment while you collect wages, so if you are paid while on maternity leave, you probably cannot collect unemployment. You should contact the nearest office of the Colorado Department of Labor to know for certain. You can probably google "Colorado Department of Labor" and send them an email to ask. If you can collect unemployment you'll have to contact that office anyway, to get the paperwork.
In most cases you cannot collect unemployment after maternity leave. If your maternity leave is over, your doctor has determined that you can go back to work. Unemployment is intended for those who are laid off from work.
Short term disability will pay benefits for a defined period of time, provided you are unable to work due to medical reasons.Social Security Disability will cover you if you are permanently disabled. You can collect both. Your private coverage may offset the SSD benefit.
Because Workers Comp and disability are health issues, you can file for unemployment, but you have to qualify for them under Kentucky's laws like everyone else.
You have to be physically actively looking for work with no reasonable restrictions, each week you receive compensation. See page 6 in the Handbook in the Related Link below for more information.
Check your policy for language about disability while unemployed. Many will require that you be unable to perform two or more activities of daily living.
Short-term disability benefits may be payable under a private insurance policy procured by you or by your employer. The policy will provide a definition of "disability" that has to be met in order to trigger benefits. Depending upon the definition, you may have to be rendered unable to perform the duties of your regular occupation at the time of the disability, or disabled from performing any duties of any occupation for which you are otherwise suited by education and experience. The policy may also prescribe a waiting period before benefits are payable, and will provide a maximum duration for benefits. Therefore, the nature of the surgery and its effects upon you will determine whether short term disability benefits will be payable.
Illinois does not have state short term disability. Social Security disability is a federal program.You can get short term disability in Illinois by through your employer, or by working with an agent.
