Would PUA Unemployment Benefits Affect SSDI In Any Way?

Hi, would PUA unemployment benefits affect SSDI in any way? Thanks

Hi. No, unemployment benefits have no effect on Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits. However, if a person was receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), receiving unemployment payments would almost certainly cause their SSI benefits to be reduced.

Best, Jerry
