Hey, Max, I guess that you are still having reading comprehension problems. Did I say that I didn't know how to post links? the forum software doesn't allow guests to post links. I guess that you would prefer to think that you are correct than to look at information that contradicts your extraordinary knowledge base.

Really? We have guests posting links all the time.

But as for your CPA with a really good disability policy . . . that's not the person who's asking the question. The original question was "Can anyone collect . . ." And the answer to that is no. "Anyone" cannot. Maybe a few mythical unemployed CPAs with "really good" disability policies, if they can afford the premiums on their salaries as unemployed persons.

Max,

Don't confuse "anyone" and "everyone". He was asking if it was possible. The answer is "yes".

This isn't just a few "mythical" CPAs. This could be anybody with a good white collar disability policy who chooses to work in another occupation. If they can't do their occupation, and they have a "true own occ" definition of disability, they are totally disabled regardless of how much money they are making doing another occupation.

If they have a "modified own occ" definition of disability and are doing another occupation, they will still be considered disabled (for less than the full benefit) if they are making less money.

So, if someone has a good individual disability contract it is most certainly possible for them to collect unemployment and disability at the same time.

Can the OP collect both? We don't know. Can some people? Yes. It comes down to the fact that one can be "disabled" AND able to to work.
