    Default What to Do if Disabled While Collecting Unemployment

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Calif
    Hi
    My sister is collecting unemployment benefits
    She recently had a neck problem and may have to get surgery and be home bound for 6 months,which means she can not work.
    It is impossible to get anyone on the phone at Calif EDD
    Calif does have a disability program but she does not want to be without income while applying nor does she want to be disqualified.
    Is it possible to switch between the 2 programs?

    Thanks in advance .

    If she is unable to work, she is not eligible for unemployment.

    It really is that simple.

    You got help. I will give you the same answer.

    If she is not able to work, she cannot collect Unemployment.

    She can apply for State Temporary Disability, but honestly - I won't give you false hopes. Most people are turned down.

    Social Security Disability - most people are turned down the first time, second time, third time, and need a lawyer and 2 years to get this....

    What makes you think that you have any right to be obnoxious? Did you pay us money, or something? Also, as has been pointed out, you received a correct answer before you started grousing.

    Your sister had also better tell Unemployment the truth - that she can't work.

    If caught lying....she can be expected to pay back every cent she has collected, plus interest.
