This depends on the severity of the disability, and the state laws regarding unemployment and disability issues. The SSDI might be interested in what you were doing, so its best to check with both the Federal and state offices to get clarification.

Does your unemployment cease when you become eligible for Social Security benefits?

Disability payments are Social Security Payments. When a person reaches full retirement age (66), the payments continue as normal, but are no longer considered disability payments. A person does not receive two payments.


Can I continue to collect my compensation disability after starting to collect Social Security benefits at 65?

Collecting Social Security would not interfere with your compensation disability


Why can't I collect long term disability and social security disability at the same time?

There is a very wide variety of "insurance" coverage from employers, public sources and private policies, and you should address your questions to the administrator of the insurance plan in order to get an accurate answer - but in general... Social Security Disability Benefits aren't a means tested program; eligibility doesn't depend on whether or not you have some other means of support. Most long term disability insurance is designed to replace your income in conjunction with Social Security disability benefit so that the sum of the two benefits enables you to continue in a lifestyle similar to the one you had before you became disabled.


Can you travel while on short term disability?

If you are receiving benefits from Social Security Disability Insurance, your moving will not affect the reception of benefits at all. Make sure to alert your Security office of your change of address so that you continue to receive correspondence from Social Security and your checks as well. If you are receiving benefits from Supplemental Security Insurance, moving could change the amount you receive in benefits, and it can also alter your eligibility to receive benefits at all. Some states add a payment to the federal SSI and detract this payment from your check each month. If you are moving from a state with no supplementary payment to one that does have one, your disability check will be slightly smaller in the new state. Disability benefits are also tied to income, so if your income changes, your disability payment will likely change as well. Call your local security office if you have any questions or concerns regarding your disability payments.


Is there an unemployment disability benefit?

If you file for unemployment and are not able to work, then you will be ineligible for benefits. However, if you are currently receiving benefits and become disabled, then yes...you would be flagged in their system to continue with benefits. It is a process because once you notify them of your disability, then your benefits will be placed on hold, you will be sent medical documentation for your Doctor to fill out, and return. The unemployment office will only know if you are disabled if you tell them.


Can you apply for social security disability while collecting social security?

Technically and legally, yes, but there are risks involved.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.When you file for unemployment compensation, all states require you to provide your Social Security number (authorized under Internal Revenue Code of 1954, 26 U.S.C. 85, Sections 6011(a), 6050(b), 6109(a), P.L. 98-369, Section 1137(a)(1)). They will share information about your claim with other government agencies to determine how unemployment affects other benefits you may receive, such as Medicaid and food stamps.If you are in the process of filing for Social Security disability, the conflict between simultaneously claiming to be incapable of "Substantial Gainful Activity" (SGA), which generally translates to full-time work, and contractually agreeing that you're willing to accept full-time work (under state unemployment regulations) in exchange for unemployment compensation, mayresult in being denied disability status (most initial claims and first appeals are denied, anyway).If you persist with the disability claim and proceed to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), it will take approximately 18 months to two years from the date you originally filed the claim until your hearing date.By then, your unemployment compensation will (probably) have been exhausted and you will either have been forced to accept employment (thus ending your disability claim for all practical purposes) or will continue to be unemployed or be under-employed. This may be a factor in the judge's decision to award or deny disability, but it will not necessarily prevent you from receiving disability benefits. The disability determination process is usually long, and should not be viewed as a way of generating quick cash.You may want to consult with a disability attorney before taking action.


Does disability follow you from state to state?

Individual Disability insurance will follow you to various states, as long as you remain in the United States. It will also continue to follow you even if you change employers.Group coverage will also follow you across states, but will not continue if you change employers.

What is the tax rate for the OSADI portion of social security?

The withholding amount by the employer from your earnings that are subject to the old age survivors disability insurance is 7.65% for the social security and medicare tax amount and the employer matches that amount for a total amount of 15.3%. When you have one employer the amount of FICA Old Age Survivor and Disability Insurance for your social security would stop once your wages with the withheld social security amount reach 106800 and social security amount withheld would be 6621.60.

The Employer Medicare 1.45% and the employee 1.45% the total medicare insurance amount of 3.9% will continue to be paid on all of you wages that are subject to the medicare insurance tax. For a self employed taxpayer the amount would be 15.3% on the net profit from the business operation.

Can you work and still collect veterans disability benefits?

You could be subject to unemployment fraud if you do collect, because by definition, to qualify for full disability you would be unable to work. There might be a loophole somewhere, but you should check with the unemployment office for particulars.
