Yes you can. There are a number of disability programs available. You can check with the counselor who handles disabilities at the college of your choice. You can also contact the Employment Services Office in your area, and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) in your area.

This question is too broad to answer with a yes or a no. You would have to determine the answer from Social Security. It all depends on what your disability is, and what percentage of disability you have, or if it has been ruled permanent. I would THINK that if it were in an effort to learn a new skill or profession that had the potential of getting you off disability status, it MIGHT be allowable. HOWEVER, if it were only for your own satisfaction, or it only minimally change your status, it might not be allowable.

Attending school can affect your unemployment benefits based on your "availability."

If you tell the unemployment office that you are attending school they will ask you for the information about your education. You will have to go through the adjudication process which is up to 6 weeks (or more). What they look at is if you are able to secure a full time job with your school schedule. If you are attending school online you have more flexibility to attend school and secure a full time job. If you are attending school on campus they will look at the hours and times you are attending and if it would interfere with your normal occupations work schedule. For example, if you normally work office hours 8-5, 9-5; and you are attending school the majority of the week during those hours, then you are not available for work. However, if you are a bartender and can work any shift and attend school during the day, then usually you will be fine.

This would depend on whether the individual state allowed it and/or whether certain institutions are allowed. Normally you would not be able to because you have to be actively seeking full time employment and that might be considered too difficult while attending a normal school.

Can you collect unemployment benefits due to relocating to attend graduate school?

Probably not although I am a little confused by what you are asking. You have to have been employed and let go for no fault of your own in order to collect unemployment. Grad school is school, not a job (although I am sure it feels like a job!) and so just because you are relocating to attend graduate school you are not necessarily entitled to it and if you had to quit your job for that reason then that will probably be seen as "your fault"

Can part time Georgia teachers collect unemployment compensation between school terms?

Usually, teachers are paid a salary and cannot collect unemployment between school terms, but you can check with your unemployment office. If you are paid hourly, it might be possible to collect benefits. Again, check with your unemployment office or ask the school administrators if it is possible to collect unemployment. The school can probably tell you. Another answer: I doubt it, but call or email your unemployment department. I am a retired teacher who subs during the school year and tried to collect unemployment in the summer. They paid me, but then decided that I didn't earn it so I had to pay it back. There is a law that has been passed that prohibits teachers from unemployment, but I am not sure if this a federal law or state.

Can you attend school and collect unemployment in Washington State?

Attending school, like volunteering, while unemployed is encouraged because it improves your chances, as long as you comply with the rest of the rules regarding receiving benefits ( willing, able, and actively seeking full time employment, etc.). NO, you can not. School is not like volunteering. It makes you unavailable for work and there for you lose your unemployment benifits. I just got off the phone with the unemployment office and that is what they told me.


Could you collect unemployment for the 2 months you are off each year if you work a 10 month job as a school tech aid?

The difficulty school personnel have with trying to collect unemployment is that most states do not allow unemployment when you are under contract or have assurance that you will return to work when school resumes and therefore "are not unemployed" in the regular sense of the word.
