I have done that. SS told me DI is completely independent of UI. So I collected both.
Seems funny since DI indicates you can't work and in UI you state you can work.
But if you read the DI rules, it acknowledges the possibility you may find work, temporary or permanant, and I guess you can collect while looking...
Just an FYI: When there's any change in status, you should contact the NYS unemployment ins. agency. Their number is listed on their website. While SSDI is not a financial-need program, it assumes you are considered disabled enough not to either work or continue doing what you used to do when you collect it. In my situation, SSDI encouraged me to continue applying for jobs (I did) while I waited to be approved. However, once approved I notified NYS U.I. and they've requested I fill out a questionnaire/form describing why I can continue collecting unemployment while collecting SSDI. If you do not call them, they may ask to be paid back. If I can continue to collect U.I. (pending their review), I will notify SSDI of the payments I'm receiving. Unemployment insurance is generally based on State law. However, you can apply for and collect unemployment insurance benefits because SSDI is not a financial-need-based program, while unemployment is. Therefore your SSDI should not affect your eligibility for unemployment benefits in New York.
Yes, an at-will employee can collect unemployment benefits if they meet the eligibility requirements set by their state's unemployment insurance program.
You can, but unemployment will deduct the amount from your unemployment benefits
In Massachusetts, you can collect unemployment benefits for up to 26 weeks.
Collecting unemployment while on disability depends on the state and the laws. However, in most states, you cannot collect both.
To collect SSDI you have to prove you are totally disabled and unable to work. Unemployment compensation requires you to be willing, able, and actively seeking full time work immediately. These two concepts are mutually exclusive, so No, you could not collect both at the same time.
Yes, you can collect unemployment benefits in Massachusetts if you are fired, as long as you were not terminated for misconduct.
In North Carolina, you can generally only collect unemployment benefits if you are terminated through no fault of your own. If you are fired, most of the time you cannot collect unemployment benefits.
If you have only been threatened with terminated, you cannot collect unemployment. If you have been fired, you can apply for unemployment benefits and they will determine if you are eligible for benefits.
You can only collect unemployment benefits from the "liable state", where the employer paid unemployment taxes, so Missouri would not pay you benefits, as you described it.
Social Security already has all the work history/wages they need to determine your eligibility (based on the previous deductions from your paychecks) and your unemployment benefits plays no part in their consideration.
Absolutely. It is called your "Retirement Pension". You cannot collect "unemployment insurance" monies if you are retired.
