Want this question answered?
Because the disability and lack of available work were no fault of your own should be no reason you would not be eligible for unemployment, on those issues.
I can't give you a specific answer without more information but I will do my best to answer some of your questions. If you are still employed and have not been laid off you will not be eligible for unemployment. If you are not being paid and have been temporarily laid off (which means you have a job when business picks up) then you can apply for benefits. If you aren't working right now due to an injury you can apply for temporary disability. Here is the website where you can apply for either the unemployment or disability for your area: http://www.dlt.state.ri.us/FileaClaim.htm
You can draw both unemployment and disability in Washington State. There is a limit to the amount of unemployment you can draw without it affecting your disability payments. Each situation is unique.
apply for unemployment .
If the person is disabled, and unable to work , then he/she will have to quit her job, resulting in being unemployed.
Because the long term disability benefits are probably better than the unemployment ones and because you can't collect both and you can claim unemployment only for a base period of 15 months, you may not have a better choice, but it's being made for you. Answer I think you should check in with the EEOC, since your rights as an employee may be an issue. In any case, unemployment can take several weeks to work through the process, so applying a month before the end of long term disability would make sense. How much you will receive will be dependent on the number of quarters you worked...best check it out so you have all the good information.
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.
No. You can apply, but what is the disability? It would get denied if you are not mentally or physically disabled.
No unemployment for students (at least in Michigan) If I said no unemployment for full time students, that should cover all states. As far as disability, yes, you can get disability if you have short term disability insurance. Since this is just for knee surgery, no point in saying how you could get long term disability as you will be fine before that becomes a issue.
Yes, if you were working since leaving the military. No, if you have not worked since being diagnosed as being disabled. You may be required to disclose your disable benefit amount when applying for unemployment.
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.
o hy you got fired to bad for you haha
