I have been collecting unemployment in OR for a little over a year now. At my doctor's urging, I am applying for SSDI benefits, on the basis of an ongoing partially disabling condition - a disability that impairs my ability to work productively and therefore find employment based on my record. The SSDI claim process seemed to require that I say that I have been unable to work for the past year because of my disability. After explaining the above, I stated that I have been disabled for the past year and unable to work. Am I in trouble with either UI or SSDI? Should I call SSDI and modify my statement?

What is your question?
If you are disabled, you cannot collect unemployment insurance benefits. Apparently the unemployment insurance folks know that you are now disabled.
Your first SSDI check will be direct deposited into your checking or savings account in October or November. Social Security payments -- retirement, survivors, and disability -- are paid on the first day of the month. If your eligibility for SSDI payments begins in October, your first payment should be deposited on October 1. If the last month of your waiting period is October, your first payment will be deposited on November 1. No future payments are made (or must be returned) beginning on the first day of the month following a person's death.
In other words, the last payment a Social Security beneficiary received prior to his or her death is the last payment they were entitled to keep. All other payments after that tme must be returned.

I applied for social security Oct. 11, 2011. I started recieving unemployment, May 2011. I have a court date for disability Nov. 15,2012. I recieve my last unemployment check, Oct. 9, 2012. That's before I go to court. Will that affect my disability claim. My doctor, stated I was unable to to work.

My doctor, stated I was unable to to work.
By itself, this will not qualify you for SSDI benefits. You must be determined unable to perform any substantial gainful actvitiy.
Your application for SSDI establishes when your benefit will start (even retroactively to five full months from the date of your disability or the date of your original SSDI claim, which ever is later. Normally, retroactive benefits will not be paid beyond the date of your first claim.
If you qualify and are paid SSDI benefits for any period of time between May 2011 and Oct 2012, the amount of UI benefits you received in that same time period should be repaid to the state -- you cannot be unemployed and disabled at the same time and collect benefits for both.

Probably. Each state sets its own rules.

i was approved for ssi benefits and ui benefits on the same day, i collected about 16 weeks of ui benefits( at $225 per week) and just recently was informed that i was not supposed to be collecting both at the same time, social security has sent me correspondence regarding this and i also expect to hear from unemployment in the near future, my question is, what kind of penalties can i expect to be imposed, if any ?

It depends on whether you made any misrepresentations to the social security administration or to unemployment compensation. If so, you could conceivably face criminal insurance fraud charges. To mitigate any potential criminal liability, it is advisable that you self-notify unemployment office about the double benefits and make arrangements to re-pay one of those institutions. Unemployment might be even willing to overlook all or some of the overpayment; many states unemployment offices have such forgiveness provisions. You might wish to consult with an attorney.

The state benefits are subordinate to the federal benefits (even though both are paid for with federal dollars). Repaying the state for any excess benefit received should clear the matter.

I lost my job due to a bipolar episode and applied for temporary state disability. After 6 months my doctor told me that I should go back to work and refused to sign my disabled certification form. So I had to apply for work and I have received unemployment benefits for the last 18 months. I looked for worked even suffering from manic depression because it is the law. I went to several interviews and applied for hundreds of jobs but didn't get any job offers. On January 1, 2013, II will received my last unemployment check and after that I will not have any income.
I hired a lawyer and applied for ssdi. I was denied 3 times but finally had a hearing with a judge. I was straight with him and told him the truth but he award me the ssdi benefits anyway. I havent received my award letter or my first check and I don't know when I will. It should be sometime in January and I am praying to God that it will be by the 9th of January, four months after my hearing.
My question is, when I receive my retroactive one time check of ssdi, will the money I received from unemployment be deducted from that retroactive check? Also, will the temporary state disability 6 months be duducted too? If that is the case, I wont even have money to pay my lawyer the $6,000 fee.
I am really stressed out about this and I would appreciate some answer. I tried looking in the Social Security Internet site and could not find any answers to my questions.
