This depends entirely on the state you work in. Some states allow both, others offset the unemployment benefits by the portion the employer paid into the pension, etc.
This depends on several factors: 1) If you are truly "retiring", then no, because you have to seek full time employment 2) The type of retirement (Social Security always is allowed, but Illinois, Louisiana, Utah, and Virginia offsets your unemployment by some factor of the Social Security benefit), and 3) The state involved, as they all have different regulations concerning other income beside your benefit.

Can you collect unemployment in California while collecting a city and county of San Francisco pension?
It is possible to receive unemployment and a pension in California under certain conditions specified in Section 1255.3 . You will receive full unemployment benefits if you contributed to the pension fund that is being distributed. (Examples for Federal Benefits include Social Security, Railroad Retirement and the Civil Service Retirement System CSRS, and FERS) Plans that did not require any employee contribution are not exempt and will have unemployment benefits reduced by the amount of the payment. For the complete California law go to the Related Link below. Yes, you can collect California unemployment benefits when you have a pension. However, according to the Pension or Retirement; A. Pension Law - Section 1255.3 (a), found in the Related Link below, the benefit shall be reduced, but not below 0, by an amount of the pension attributable to the benefits in that week. This is correct but I would follow up this answer with what if you started receiving pension from previous employers from 10 years back and is not the base employer. Will this too be deducted from your UI? Thanks

If you are collecting retirement benefits can you also collect unemployment benefits?
Theoretically yes, the government will take what you are getting in pension away from the amount they think a person needs to live on per week and if there is a difference they will make this up as the unemployment payment. If your weekly pension income is more than the amount, you will not get any unemployment payment but you will be credited with your national insurance stamp each week (you will need 30 years of stamps to get a full state pension at state retirement age). You will also be entitled to the other unemployment concessions.
Can you collect both unemployment insurance benefits a pension at the same time in Ohio?
I'm in Alabama, when you file your weekly claim it ask if you have become eligible for or has your pension amout changed. I took my pesion as a lump sum but on the claim it only gives an option of what the monthly amount of your pension would be-which mine would be around $12.45, so that's what I submitted in the claim Sunday. I didn't get any unemployment this week. I'm trying to find out if I will continue to get it or not, but its hard to get to talk to anyone when you try to call.
Can you collect unemployment and a pension in Ohio?
Apparently several claims were appealed, in Ohio, concerning unemployment and 401ks. The 401k is considered a resource for the claimant, but it does not prevent applying for benefits, per se, it seems to cause adjustment to the benefits.
