Question:
Am I entitled to unemployment insurance benefits during workers’ compensation?
Answer:
We received a call the other day from a potential client out in Naperville who was in the middle of a workers’ compensation claim. He was receiving his temporary total disability benefits. From our conversation with him, it seemed like the amount was proper. He asked us if he could also apply for unemployment benefits concurrently. The answer to that is no. When you’re receiving temporary disability pay, you’re ineligible for other forms of compensation except possibly Social Security disability, in which case, generally, the Social Security disability benefits will be offset in whole or in part by whatever you’re receiving under your TTD or temporary total disability payments. If you have a question regarding what your entitlements are when you’re receiving disability benefits, please give us a call and we can discuss it.
