Can I Collect Unemployment Insurance In New Jersey While Collecting SSDI Benefits?
Dear Larry and Staff: I have been receiving Unemployment Insurance since April 2020. In October 2020 I applied for Social Security Disability Insurance and was awarded same as of January 2021. I am not able to get through to Unemployment or Social Security. My question is am I able to continue collecting Unemployment Insurance while collecting SSDI in the state of New Jersey? Thank you for your time and assistsnce.
Sincerely,
Maria
Hi Maria. My expertise is limited to Social Security benefits, so all I can tell you for sure is that collecting unemployment benefits would have no adverse effect on your Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits. Everything I've read on the internet indicates that drawing SSDI wouldn't affect your ability to collect unemployment benefits in New Jersey, but you may want to verify that information with the agency that pays your unemployment benefits.
Best, Jerry
