Best Answer

In MA I asked that same question. "Now that I'm getting disability, I guess I have to stop unemployment." Answer: "No, they are completely independent." So I collected in both. Of course, you will pay taxes on both, so put some aside.

It seems counter-intuitive, since disability means you can't work and in unemploment you state you can work.

I think the reasoning is: If you read your disability rules closely, they acknowledge the possibility that you find some work that you can do, and since that takes job-finding time you still qualify for unemployment.

Do unemployment insurance benefits pay 100 percent of your earnings?

Unemployment insurance almost never pays 100% of your earnings unless your earnings are very low to begin with. Unemployment insurance programs are governed by State governments and are funded by state, federal and private companies that pay employment tax. Ultimately, it comes to the state government to balance the checkbook, so the state has to decide the benefits maximum amount, duration, and eligibility to receive the benefits, so the amount paid varies from state to state. For example, Massachusetts pays $628-942 for 72 weeks (the highest among the states) and Rhode Island pays $528-660 for 79 weeks (the second highest among the states while Mississippi pays $230 for 59 weeks (lowest in the US) and Arizona provides $240 for 72 weeks (second lowest)
