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.
Yes, if the pension is less than the unemployment you can get some unemployment.
The unemployment will be reduced by the amount of the pension if the pension was contributed to by a base period employer.
If the pension was not contributed to by a base period employer the unemployment amount will not be reduced.
If the pension is from multiple employers, typical in the construction trades, it's unclear what happens. If anyone knows the answer to this please add it.

Sure. Millions do.
Say you retired from company X and started getting retirement benefits. Then hired on at Company Y, later laid off. You get UI benes based on wages at Y, while still getting pension from X.
Some states offset UI bene's for retirement.
Yes, in the state of Ohio, people can collect both unemployment insurance benefits and a pension at the same time. People are required, however, to report their pension benefits.
yes
Absolutely. It is called your "Retirement Pension". You cannot collect "unemployment insurance" monies if you are retired.
Yes you can file
If your teacher's retirement is classified as a pension, you need to contact your unemployment office for clarification. Certain pensions may reduce the amount of unemployment benefits a person receives.
I worked for 30 years and retired at 60 - started collecting my pension but went back to work in another job for 3 months and then got laid off. Am I able to collect unemployment and does it comefrom the 30 year job or the 3 month job.
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.
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
Supplementary economic benefits include such issues as pension plans, paid vacations, paid holidays, health insurance plans, dismissal pay, reporting pay, and supplementary unemployment benefits (SUB).
No, your pension income is for supporting you and your family.
maybe...maybe not
Yes, those are two different things. You have the right to your pension regardless of whether you get unemployment and whether or not an individual has a pension (or severance) does not matter when reviewing an unemployment application.
It's possible it could. This depends on the particular state's laws regarding the type of pension, the structure of the pension, amount of offset against the unemployment benefit, etc.
YOu cannot receive unemployment if you return to work.
