Currently on workman’s compensation, am I eligible for unemployment?
February 4, 2014
Q) I am currently on workman’s compensation. I would like to know if I am eligible for full or partial unemployment benefits at the same time.
A) The eligibility for both workers’ compensation and unemployment benefits varies by state and is based on your specific situation. In some states, it is possible to receive both workers’ compensation and unemployment benefits if you meet certain criteria. For example, if you are receiving workers’ compensation but are able to work part-time or in a limited capacity, you may be eligible for partial unemployment benefits. It is best to check with your state’s unemployment insurance agency to determine your eligibility for both benefits.
