Unemployment and pension benefits

If you are already receiving pension benefits when you apply or begin receiving them while you file, pension payments, must be reported upon receipt. Your weekly benefit payment may be reduced based on your pension payments. A fact-finding will be conducted to determine eligibility and the amount of your weekly benefit payment.  

Social Security payments are not deducted from your weekly benefit payment.
