YOu cannot receive unemployment benefits at all unless you are available for work and actively seeking work. So, if you are DISABLED, you are not fit for work, and are disqualified from UI benefits.

∙ 14y agoIt's unusual for you to be approved for disability, being on unemployment already. By definition, the 2 programs are contradictory. To draw unemployment, you have to be ready, willing, and ABLE to start work immediately. For disability, they have to establish you are unable to work. Please straighten this out before one of them charges you, potentially, with unemployment fraud.

Disability benefits are received if you are unable to work. Unemployment is paid if you are able to work and actively searching for employment. These two definitions are contradictory, so you won't be able to legally collect disability benefits and unemployment.

Can I collect both long term disability benefits and unemployment benefits while waiting for next disability benefit at the end of October?
In order to collect unemployment benefits, you must be physically able to work. In order to get disability benefits, you must NOT be able to work. So you can't have it both ways.

Absolutely. To not do so may constitute unemployment fraud. If you are disabled, you may not be able to comply with the requirements of being ready, willing and able to accept full time employment, thus not be eligible for the unemployment compensation.

In Texas can a person accept private disability and unemployment payments at the same time?
No. I was recently laid off while on disability. The law in Texas says you have to be able to physically be able to work so if you are on disability you can't work. This is NOT correct! Social Security Disability allows you to work even if you are 100% disabled! They limit how much you can earn. (Your unemployment income will NOT reduce your disability payment because SS does not consider it to be employment income!)
