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.

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.

Will this too be deducted from your UI? Thanks

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.
Generally you can collect both a pension and unemployment benefits, but the unemployment is usually offset by the equivalent weekly pension benefits. Each state has its own criteria regarding whether or not pensions are allowable along with unemployment, and those that do, specify only that portion of the pension the worker contributed to is not considered in the formula for offset. You also must comply with the other rules, such as ready, able, willing, and actively searching for full time employment, etc. Check with your own state for its criteria.
