I'm not sure if I have understood the implication of the date in the post, may be some seasoned member can solve the puzzle.

However, once you have recovered from the reason of disability and is eligible to join back the work force and have the job ready in your hand (that is you were not sacked) you may not qualify for the unemployment benefits. And definitely you can't receive both the disability and the unemployment benefits at the same time.

can I collect unemployment benefits in Colorado if I have filed for social security disability but have not been approved? Is there a way to claim such benefits under unemployment after disability application gets rejected?

I think you can't collect both the benefits at the same time. Therefore, when you are receiving the long term disability benefits, you may not qualify for the unemployment benefits during this period (link removed by moderator-lori)

Let's clarify what we mean by disability benefits. If we are talking about a group plan, then no you cannot receive unemployment benefits b/c the only way you would receive benefits for group LTD is by still being an employee. If the company terminates you then you'll lose the LTD benefits but will become eligible for unemplyoment benefits.

If we are talking about individual disability insurance you could receive benefits and unemployment if you have been terminated from your current employee.

Sot hat I'm clear - unemployment benefits refers to a govt paid program, completely outsdie of any insurance arrangements?

Or benefits granted under an insurance policy due to loss of income caused by redundancy?

It depends, but would be hard..can you be searching for meaningful employment if your are on long terms disability? I don't know any state unemployment that doesn't require this.
