    In most states, when you file for unemployment, you are certifying that you are able to work

    If you file for disability you are saying you are unable to do any work

    If you file for unemployment... especially after filing for disability, you have now stated you are able to work & gainfully looking for work

    So, it is Fraud and it could jeopardize your disability case

    If you are able to work, then try for unemployment & let go of the disability case

    If you are unable to work, then don't file for unemployment & continue with your disability case

    Unless IL is unusual and allows for unemployment when you are on pending disability.... I am reasonably certain that IL is not one of the few states that allow it

    no in order to collect unemployment you have to be ready willing and able to work. You are even suppose to report if you are ill or in the hospital any days you could not go to work you don't get paid for.

    in case you have been working, you could assemble unemployment until and whilst incapacity is desperate. it is larger to would desire to offer some money lower back if there is an overlap, yet until that occurs you're overlaying your fees for residing....
