Can I receive Unemployment Insurance benefits if Im out of work due to illness or injury?
Unemployment Insurance benefits are intended for people who are physically able to work, who are available for work, and who are actively seeking work. It is not a disability program. However, anyone may apply for benefits and establish a claim. If your circumstances restrict your ability to work or to seek work, then a ruling will be made on your eligibility after you apply for benefits.
