If you are fired from your job and you are on disability can you get unemployment?

Can you go to school while on unemployment compensation?
You should check with your UI Claimant's Handbook that is available in each state for the best possible advice on this subject. Each state has separate guidelines as to "Work Search Requirements," though almost all states will require you to make a certain number of work search contacts per week, and be "Available for Work." The determination is that it is not possible to be "Available for Work," and to be enrolled in a full time college program at the same time. Different states have different guidelines for how many hours you can take; however all states will allow you to go back to school; provided that it is only part-time.
This also does not apply for "Approved Training Programs" as deemed by the Job Service in your state. These programs are typically jobs that require training after you are Job-Attached. You may not receive wages during this training period, which will make you eligible to continue your UI, and reduce your work search contact requirements during this period. Also, bear in mind that some states actually have additional funding to help you pay for school if you have been laid off from a position.
If you attempt to attend school while on UI and do not report it to them, there is a period of 3 years from the end of your claim that they can do a fraud investigation that could result in both fines and jail time. Please don't risk it. As stated above, the laws for each state will differ, however most at this time treat online college by the number of hours the courses are worth; and do not take into consideration that you may be taking them at night. Exceeding the amount of hours allowed by the UI program constitutes fraud, and you could end up in a lot of trouble for attempting it.

How early can you receive social security benefits?
Retirement Benefits
Once you qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, you will receive compensation until you die unless you're younger than SSA's full retirement age (typically 66 for those currently considering retirement) and you exceed the annual earned income cap of $14,160 by enough to temporarily disrupt payment while the amount is being offset. Cash benefits also end if you are incarcerated or enter a nursing home for more than 30 days.
When you reach full retirement age, the income limit will be lifted and you will receive benefits until you die.
Disability Benefits
If you receive Social Security disability payments, your benefits will continue until you are capable of engaging in Substantial Gainful Activity (often defined as earning more than $1,000 per month for most disabilities, or $1,640 per month for blindness) or until the payments convert to retirement benefits. As with retirement benefits, disability benefits stop at any time you are incarcerated or maintained in a tax-supported facility for more than 30 days. If you are otherwise eligible, benefits will resume after your release, but you will not receive back pay for the time you were under the government's care.

What is the maximum unemployment benefit amount in North Carolina?
Extension of unemployment benefits has had a detrimental impact.

Incentive to work has gone out the window when people make out just about as good as working - shame on our government.

They are automatically mailed out by January 31st. Make sure that your address is updated and correct in their system.

If you are relocating to Florida can you collect unemployment?
Yes, you can if you are already collecting unemployment. It's called an interstate claim.

Following your spouse is sometimes an allowable, as is domestic abuse, health, etc. If you are going to Florida in order to file for unemployment against the state of Florida, with no work history, then no, you cannot collect unemployment in Florida.
