Yes I have been out more than 12 weeks. I guess my disability will continue until I am released to return to work and then I will be on a job market. Should I apply for unemployment now or once I am released to return to work?
You can apply but you cannot claim any benefits for weeks where you are unable to work, i.e. still disabled. They may or may not approve your initial claim since they do ask you if you are actively seeking work when you apply. You must be actively seeking, and available for, work to be able to claim weekly benefits in GA.
