Outcome

The court affirmed the commissioner's determination that Roloff was ineligible for unemployment benefits because he applied for social security disability benefits while receiving unemployment compensation, and upheld the order requiring repayment of $1,735 in overpaid benefits.

What This Ruling Means

# Roloff v. Commissioner of the Department of Employment & Economic Development ## What Happened Roloff received unemployment benefits while simultaneously applying for Social Security disability benefits. The state Department of Employment & Economic Development discovered this overlap and determined he was not eligible to collect unemployment during that period. ## The Court's Decision The appeals court sided with the state agency. The court upheld the decision that Roloff was ineligible for unemployment benefits because he pursued disability benefits at the same time. As a result, Roloff was ordered to repay $1,735 in unemployment benefits he had already received. ## Why This Matters for Workers This ruling clarifies that workers cannot collect unemployment benefits while applying for Social Security disability benefits simultaneously. If you receive unemployment payments and later apply for disability, you could be required to repay those benefits. Workers should be aware of these restrictions and understand the rules about combining different types of government assistance before accepting unemployment benefits.
