Legally, yes, but it may be a factor in whether you're approved for Social Security Disability (SSDI).

While the Social Security Administration doesn't prohibit people on (SSDI) disability from receiving unemployment checks, state unemployment regulations usually require all unemployment recipients to be willing and able to accept full-time work.This creates a conflict, because you're generally not eligible for Social Security disability benefits if you're capable of full-time work.

Can you collect unemployment benefits while you are on Social Security for widows?

You can generally still collect unemployment while collecting social security, unless it is social security disability...even then you still might be able to. I worked for the Unemployment Office & just an FYI, they do not know if you are on social security and are unable to check, so if you do not say anything, they will never know.

Can you collect unemployment and long term disability benefits at the same time in Iowa?

In Iowa, you cannot collect unemployment benefits and long-term disability benefits simultaneously. Unemployment benefits are designed for those who are able and available to work, while long-term disability benefits are for individuals unable to work due to a medical condition. If you are receiving long-term disability, you would typically not qualify for unemployment benefits. It's advisable to consult with a local unemployment office or legal expert for specific situations.

Can you collect short term disability and unemployment benefits if you are restricted by your limitations set by your physician and no work is available for you?

The criteria you set out would seem to qualify you. However, each state sets its own criteria for eligibility and, in most cases, you could not receive both short term disability and unemployment simultaneously.


Can I collect unemployment and disability benefits at the same time in Iowa?

Yes, it's legal to collect both unemployment and social security disability benefits in Iowa if you qualify under both programs, but you must be willing and able to work and be actively seeking suitable employment. If you were collecting disability benefits while working part-time before losing your job, there is no conflict. You are not eligible for unemployment compensation during any week you're unable to work, whether due to disability or another reason, unless your work search is waived. Iowa grants waivers to people who expect to be recalled by their employer within a certain period of time, and to those participating in an approved educational or vocational training program.
