Can you work and still receive short term disability?

== == DI is meant to support you financially when you can't work. Insurance companies do not wish to pay you the benefit if you can still do your job. So the answer is no. There may be some loopholes with very good coverage such as an Own Occ policy where if you were a Dr and could not do your job, you would collect DI but maybe still be able to flip burgers at the same time. Also, there are some benefits that allow you to work PT and still collect part of your DI.
