My question is: Does one have to be out of work to apply for this disability? I may be fired soon, but I'm wondering if I could collect any benefits for all the days I've missed and was not paid any benefits for.
Saul yes you have to be out of work in order to apply for state disability and it will cover up to a year then if your still out of work then you have to apply for permanent if your still not able to go back to work. The only thing that I know of that will cover days missed is your sick leave, vacation leave, fmla, and any other work related leave you might have. State disability goes according to when your able to go back towork so if the dr. says you can't go back for 2 months then if its approved you will get paid for those 2 months then have to get recertified to stay out of work longer and stay on temp disability. Which they mail they paper to you when you get your last check. Check with your state and see if there are any more options available as it varies from state to state. I am California so New York I know is very very different when it comes to alot of things then here.
