I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I SHOULD CONTINUE TO COLLECT MY PENNSYLVANIA UNEMPLOYMENT IF I HAVE BEEN GRANTED DISABILITY FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.I WAS TOLD BY MY LAWYER I COULD CONTINUE WITH UNEMPLOYMENT DURING THE PROCESS BUT WHAT DO I DO NOW. SHE IS ACTING WISHY WASHY ABOUT IT NOW ,SO I DO NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING WRONG AND GET OVERPAID AND HAVE TO PAY BACK MONEY I DO NOT HAVE. THANK YOU

Hi George,

What kind of disability?

I can't find anything that says disability payment would be deductible income from unemployment .. unless a state considers SSDI the same as SSI, but here's the main question for me when someone is waiting to get disability.

Are you able and available for any type of work .. right now while you're collecting benefits?

I could do a sit down job if the area was ventilated properly. I would need training because I have done the same work my whole life. I have RA, C.O.P.D.,OSTEOPEROSIS, and BACK PROBLEMS. I think with disability in our state you just need to prove you can not perform your current job,which is what I was doing for the last 35 years.

Yup, you're still able and available to work at something .. so as far as I know .. you're good to go on the unemployment benefits.

Although you might benefit from some of the offered training or other programs at a careerlink office.
