The answer is - it depends.

If you are asking about state disability benefits, the rules vary by state. You will need to contact your state department of labor. They will ask how long you have been unemployed, and how much you worked in the last 12 months.

If you have an individual policy, and you have continued paying the premium, and your doctor has indicated you are unable to work for medical reasons, you may have a claim. Check your policy details. It may require a simple statement from your doctor, or you may have to establish that you are unable to perform two or more activities of daily living.

Is there an unemployment disability benefit?

If you file for unemployment and are not able to work, then you will be ineligible for benefits. However, if you are currently receiving benefits and become disabled, then yes...you would be flagged in their system to continue with benefits. It is a process because once you notify them of your disability, then your benefits will be placed on hold, you will be sent medical documentation for your Doctor to fill out, and return. The unemployment office will only know if you are disabled if you tell them.
