Should an injured worker apply for unemployment benefits?
If you are receiving weekly benefits from the insurance company for disability then you are not entitled to unemployment. If, however, you are not receiving benefits and you have been terminated from your employment and you are not completely taken out of work from your doctor then you can apply. In order to apply for unemployment you have to certify that you are ready willing and able to work. As long as you can work in some capacity you can apply for unemployment.
