In Connecticut, individuals can receive both disability benefits and welfare assistance, but there are specific eligibility criteria and regulations that apply. Disability benefits, such as Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), may not be affected by welfare programs like Temporary Family Assistance (TFA). However, the total amount of assistance you receive may be adjusted based on income and resources. It's essential to consult with local agencies or legal experts to understand how these benefits interact in your specific situation.
No you can't collect from both disability and unemployment at the same time. Disability provides income replacement if you are physically unable to work. Unemployment replaces income for those able to work, but out of work due to job loss.
Yes, I know of someone that Collects Child support SSI and Welfare. Messed up huh
Don't think so, but go to the social security website for help. You need 40 quarters to collect social security and be 65.
You should be able to. If you are working past retirement age and paying in to state disability you should be able to collect up to 12 months. State disability is different then federal social security. If you are paying in and its within the 12 months you should be eligible to collect on what you paid for, it is insurance.
The IRS doesn't pay disability benefits; they collect taxes. You may or may not be able to collect disability benefits from a private insurance policy and the Social Security Administration at the same time, but if you can, it's likely the income from one would be reduced to offset some or all of the income from the other. Check your insurance policy or consult with an insurance agent for more information.
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 but u can only earn like a grand a month before you are considered able to receive gainful employment
Yes, if you recently lost a job, and have very low income and few resources, you may qualify for both unemployment and welfare benefits. If you are approved for unemployment, welfare will count the unemployment benefits as "unearned" income, and the benefit will count against your welfare benefits. Both unemployment and welfare require you to look for work. Welfare can grant a deferral from the work requirement if you are unable to work, but the unemployment agency will deny your claim if you are unable to work. The exception to this is if you became disabled after becoming eligible for unemployment, or if you were disabled due to an illness or injury not caused by your job
Generally you can't collect unemployment while disabled because you have to be ready, willing AND able to go to work immediately for full time. Disability makes that impossible, in most cases. If the time frame and every thing else applies, you might after the disability ends.
Yes, it is possible to collect both state disability benefits and federal disability benefits simultaneously, but there are specific rules that apply. State disability programs vary by state and may have different eligibility criteria and benefit amounts. However, receiving state disability benefits might affect the amount of federal disability benefits you receive, as some states offset their payments with federal benefits. It's essential to check the regulations in your state and consult with a benefits advisor for personalized guidance.
