Social Security Disability Income is a Federal program. The rules are the same for all states. This site may be able to answer some of your questions.

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.
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.
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.
Maybe. It depends upon the nature of the symptoms and whether they prevent the SSDI applicant from performing any work.
No, individuals typically cannot collect money while in jail as they are not able to work or engage in financial transactions while incarcerated.
NO... if you are not looking for work you cannot collect
Yes it is possible to draw disability and work part time; however there are certain restrictions you need to be aware of. This site may be able to answer some of your questions, http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10095.html
If it's otherwise legal for your child to work, there shouldn't be any reason they couldn't.
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.
You must be both actively seeking employment and physically able to work to be able to collect in most states.
No. To be eligible for unemployment benefits, you must be available for work. If you are incarcerated, you are not available for work.
Are you asking about SSDI? The answer is most likely not. It is very hard to qualify for SSDI to begin with and where you will be going back to work in a short period of time after your recovery it is very unlikely.
