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.

Is there an unemployment disability benefit?

If you file for unemployment and are not able to work, then you will be ineligible for benefits. However, if you are currently receiving benefits and become disabled, then yes...you would be flagged in their system to continue with benefits. It is a process because once you notify them of your disability, then your benefits will be placed on hold, you will be sent medical documentation for your Doctor to fill out, and return. The unemployment office will only know if you are disabled if you tell them.
