WHY did you file for UI if you knew you are injured and could not
work? If you ‘lied’ and said you could work if offered suitable
employment, and you knew you couldn’t … you committed a fraud
against the state you live in. Take the checks BACK to the UI
office and beg their forgiveness and claim stupidity… that’s
going to be your best bet here… or get ready to pay a potentially
significant fine.

Ask your lawyer. How do you even qualify for unemployment is you are on workers’ comp? Were you fired or did you quit? That might be the issue. If you are in effect still showing as a active employee, then wrokers’ comp will probably be void and null for the time period that those checks cover. And if you are still active, and you have received unemployment checks, then you have the state to payback. You cannot receive ‘double-pay’ is what it comes down to.

YOu better ask your atty. USually a disability claim kills an unemployment claim as you must be physically able to take a job; and if you cash that check, you may be saying you aren’t actually disabled.

Check with the lawyer. He doesn’t want the lawsuit screwed up any more than you do. He’ll tell you right.
