The comments by the young lady grate me. Seeems to me you have to work to earn it, then you get to use it if you have to. In case of emergency, break glass. Is she talking about state benefits, federal benfits programs, or a combination of the 2?
Just info. I'm a disabled vet, draw a disability check from the Army for knees, ankles and shoulders that got bummed up doing the Army thing. I've drawn unemployment when fed civil service jobs went away here in KY.
I guess it depends on the source of the disability. In my case, I have a legitimate disability that is compensable, am still able to work, and can still be eligible to draw unemployment if the job I worked while disabled goes away for no fault of my own.
Maybe its a matter of compensation for injuries due to service, versus a seperate and distinct eligibility due to lost income.
