Workers Compensation Attorney FAQ
Serving all of Pennsylvania
May I collect unemployment while out on workers' compensation?
An employee can receive unemployment compensation while simultaneously receiving workers compensation provided that the employee advises the Unemployment Compensation Bureau of their capability to work and also reports the receipt of unemployment benefits to the workers' compensation insurer. A credit will be applied against your workers' compensation based on the unemployment compensation received.
Note: Workers' compensation benefits are usually preferable over unemployment benefits. Workers' compensation benefits are not taxed while unemployment benefits are. In addition, workers' compensation benefits continue indefinitely, while unemployment benefits are capped.
