Can I draw Unemployment if I'm already drawing Workers Comp?

Question

I'm receiving Workers Compensation because of an on-the-job-accident, can I legally draw Unemployment Benefits as well? Aren't they two completely separate benefits that have nothing to do with each other? Is there a possibility I could get in trouble in any way?

Extra Info: I've already been receiving Workers Comp checks and benefits for about 6 weeks, but they are going to end within the next 3. Plus, I've already applied for Unemployment and was APPROVED. In approving my case, they must have seen that I'm drawing Workers Comp, right?

I just don't want o take ANY chances on this, as I have no burning desire to see the inside of a jail (or prison). Anyone who has CONCRETE knowledge on this subject, I would appreciate your input.

Answer 2

they are 2 separate benefits. but since your receiving workers comp, you still have a job and are not entitled to unemployment benefits. now after your doctor says you can go back to work and they eliminated your job, then you can get unemployment.
