Will Other Income Reduce My Benefits?

Vacation, holiday and W.A.R.N. pay reduce your weekly benefit amount in the same way as wages.

Severance or termination pay or Social Security payments do not reduce your weekly benefit amount.

Pensions may reduce your benefits. Tell your claims representative if you are receiving a pension. If your pension reduces your weekly benefit amount, you will be notified.

Examples of pensions which may reduce your benefits:

  • Military retirement (including disability)
  • Union pension
  • Private employer pension
  • Federal civilian pension
  • State, county or city pension
