Best Answer

Unemployment is when you have no job, for whatever reason. You may receive unemployment insurance payments if you lost your job for a variety of reasons, but usually not if you voluntarily quit your job.

Disability is when an injury, illness, or physical condition makes you unable to perform the functions of your job or a similar job. You may receive disability insurance payments if it has been determined by the appropriate state assessment board that you are temporarily or permanently disabled, partially or completely.

The answer above is wrong. Unemployment is a worker without paid employment this week who is actively seeking such employment. Only about 60% of the unemployed qualify for UI benefits.

Disability is when a worker has a relatively permanent medical condition which prevents performance of even one of the essential job functions of the assigned job.
