Presumably, you can receive both payments. However, it will be very unlikely that you will be approved for both. Normally, disability recipients must wait about one year for a hearing after the initial denial (which is normally what happens). If you have worked a job recently, and are approved for unemployment compensation, it will seem to the Administrative Law Judge that you are able to work and are not in fact disabled enough to receive SSA benefits.
