What are the disadvantages of unemployment benefits?

Social security/unemployment benefits?

• I was laid off from my job three years and collected unemployment benefits. Last week I was awarded Social Security disability benefits. The social security administration awarded benefits for a period of time that includes part of the period in which I was receiving unemployment benefits. I have spoken with the unemployment office and nobody seems to know if I am required to pay back the unemployment benefits. If I am required to pay back the unemployment benefits I would like to do it now. I do not want to find out several months down the road that I owe this money. I am getting frustrated because nobody can answer my question. Does anybody know if I am required to pay this money back or to whom I should be speaking?

• Answer:

  Yes,you will have to pay back the unemployment benefits you received during the period you were waiting for disability.
