Can you receive unemployment and Social Security benefits in Arizona at the same time?

Legally, yes, but it may be a factor in whether you're approved for Social Security Disability (SSDI).

While the Social Security Administration doesn't prohibit people on (SSDI) disability from receiving unemployment checks, state unemployment regulations usually require all unemployment recipients to be willing and able to accept full-time work.This creates a conflict, because you're generally not eligible for Social Security disability benefits if you're capable of full-time work.
