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.

It's advisable to consult with a local unemployment office or legal expert for specific situations.
