Your wife's state retirement pension may be less than yours due to a variety of factors, including differences in work history, contributions to the pension system, and the number of years she has worked. Women often have lower lifetime earnings due to factors such as part-time work or career interruptions. Additionally, pension calculation formulas can vary by state and may have different benefit structures based on gender or job classification. Lastly, if she had any lower-paying jobs or periods of unemployment, these could also impact her overall pension amount.
Your State Pension depends on the number of years youve paid National Insurance or got National Insurance credits while claiming certain benefits. You need 30 years to get a full State Pension of 107.45. If you have fewer years when you retire youll get less State Pension.
Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plans are for companies that have less than 100 employees. SEP plans provide retirement benefits for the business owners and their employees.
== == YES, provided the unemployment benefits are properly yours. In other words, that you worked and made the proper contributions from your income to the state fund. Having a state pension is no conflict.
Collecting unemployment requires being ready, willing, able and available for full time employment and seeking work. If your 'retirement' allows this then yes, otherwise, no. Also, you have to qualify for the unemployment regarding monies, earned employment history, reason for leaving the last job, etc.
Depending on which type of vesting is used for your pension, you may receive a portion or all of it if you retire early. If it is cliff invested, you will lose the entire pension if you leave your job in less than five years. If you retire after five years, you receive all of it. If it is graded vesting, you will receive 20 percent if you leave the job after three years. If you stay each year after adds on another 20 percent up to seven years. At that time you are eligible for the entire pension when you retire.
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.
I am a former PIA employee. PIA pension rules state that a retired employee (pensioner) would receive the pension for his entire life. However, in case he dies, the widow shall receive pension as per the following rules: (i) If the retiree / pensioner has received pension for 10 years or more, no pension shall be paid to the widow. (ii) If the retiree / pensioner has received pension for less than 10 years, pension to the widow shall only be paid for such differential period. For example, if a pensioner has received pension for 8 years and he dies, the widow shall receive pension for only 2 years, where after the pension payment shall stop. I hope this answers the query.

According to pages 13-14 in the Related Link below, you may have a reduction in your benefits if you receive a pension. Because there are several provisions, review that Link and check with the state's employment security office.
Although you can retire at any age, you can only get your State Pension when you reach State Pension age. The earliest you can receive a company or personal pension is 55 - but this depends on your pension scheme rules. If you're retiring because of ill-health you may be able to take your benefits before this age. If you have serious ill-health and your life expectancy is less than a year then you can retire at any age. You can take up to 100 per cent of your pension fund as a tax-free lump sum. If you're married or have a civil partner, up to 50 per cent of the pension fund may be retained by the scheme. This will be used to provide for a survivor's pension.
If you're a long way from retirement, stocks (riskier) is probably better. As you get closer to retirement, high grade, short term bonds (less risky) are better.
Premium bonds, would be my first suggestion. They are less risk than say a work pension. Even just saving 20% from your paycheck each month into a long term interest account. But The only down fall with that it is you take your money out early you are at a loss.
It varies my wifes stops after less than a mile mine will go all day
