Can you collect Social Security and unemployment in Washington state?
No. They ask each week, were you ABLE and available for work. If you are unable to work then you are supposed to notify them and they WILL discontinue your benefits until you notify them that you ARE ABLE to work again. Sometimes a Doctor's note is required to get back ON unemployment, depending on the injury or illness. IMO... If ou are dependent on unemploment right now... I would not tell them about any injuries or illness unless it's really, really serious. They will cut you off. This last part, of course, is just my personal opinion. YMMV.
