Unemployment insurance replaces your income if you lose your job.

Short term disability insurance protects your income if you become disabled, and are physically unable to work.

The two are mutually exclusive, unless your employer lays you off during your disability.

Logically, No you could not collect both unemployment AND Social Security DISABILITY (emphasis added)!! With the latter, SS requires beyond any doubt that you are unable to seek employment in order for the government to pay you disability. By the same token, unemployment requires that you are ready, willing AND ABLE (emphasisadded) to go to work immediately and on a full time job. The 2 concepts are mutually exclusive. Check with your unemployment office for exceptions to the rule.

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.

Can you collect New York State unemployment while on disability?

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.

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.

Yes. If you exceed your maximum weekly unemployment amount in wages you will not get anything from the government. If for instance, your weekly benefit amount was $400 and you earned $200 from your part-time job, unemployment would pay you $200 and make up the difference.

If prior to the disability you worked while on unemployment and did not report it, yes, you will need to pay back the over-payments!

Can you claim unemployment in Colorado while on maternity leave?

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.
