Hi Larry, I am collecting SSDI for many years and have worked part time, Last March I was laid off from my part time job (making under $1100 a month) and applied for unemployment , I started collecting soon after but am not sure If its legal or not. I am in California.

Hi,

My only area of expertise is Social Security benefits, so that's the only part of your question that I can address. All that I can tell you is that collecting unemployment benefits has no effect on Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits.

Best, Jerry
