Title: SSDI and Unemployment
Post by: kyshiag on July 21, 2012, 08:35:18 AM

FWIW, you can get SSDI and Unemployment at the same time, at least in Illinois.  They divide your SSDI in half, subtract that amount from what you are entitled to for Unemployment and send  you the difference.

You can in Indiana as well.  They don't split it up in anyway though?

You definately cant get both in NY. You have to be "ready, willing and ABLE to work" to collect Unemployment benefits. If youre getting SSDI then you are not able.
