There are ALJ's that will not approve applicants for months that they are receiving UI. The ALJ may decide that you are not credible when you tell one government agency you are ready, willing and able to work and tell another government agency that you are unable to engage in substantial gainful activity because of a disability. But that is not yet law.

So, the answer about SSA is either not yet or depends. Pretty darn vague, I know.

I've read elsewhere that the language of state's UE laws make a big difference. So, it can also potentially be a regional answer.

Thanks for keeping us updated!

Edit to clarify: So a person can currently go over 80% of gross by collecting UE and SSDI? And they can continue to collect UE after being approved for SSDI (not just backpay?) Ty!
