Which four states reduce unemployment benefits if you are also drawing Social Security?

The states of Illinois and Louisiana offset unemployment benefits by a significant portion of a recipient's Social Security benefits. In Illinois, half of a recipient's weekly social security benefit is deducted from the recipient's weekly unemployment payment. In 2010, Utah let its offset law lapse after the state's court ruled against a similar workers comp case on the basis of age discrimination and the territory of Puerto Rico repealed its offset law. Previously, South Dakota and Virginia repealed their offset law, but if their unemployment funds fall below a specific level, those states can deduct unemployment benefits from older workers who receive social security payments. Illinois AARP and Virginia AARP have made full repeal of the social security offset law a priority.
