For example, imagine a musician who has worked for the American Symphony Orchestra her whole life. Now she retires and takes earlier pension benefits at age She may not work for the ASO, but can still play Broadway shows.
However, at age 65, she may start working for the ASO again. If you are drawing a pension and you start working again, your additional work may or may not result in a bump up in your monthly check from the pension fund.
This is where it gets complicated, but this is the important point. That topic is way too big to get into now, but Allegro covered it in its April issue. So when you work after you retire, any additional pension benefits that you are be entitled to may be offset by the pension multiplier reduction. Believe it or not, this actually is good news, for purposes of unemployment benefits. Under Section 7 of the New York Unemployment Insurance Law, unemployment compensation benefits will be reduced due to receipt of a pension only if employment during the unemployment eligibility period resulted in an increased amount of pension benefits.
If pension benefits are not increased by current employment, the pensioner should be entitled to the full amount of unemployment compensation that he or she would have earned, without any reduction. Of, course, if pension benefits are increased due to post-retirement employment, there will be a consequent reduction in unemployment compensation.
The amendment was intended to ameliorate the one hundred percent offset imposed by the law. The amendment provided, among other things, for deduction only when a base period or chargeable employer had contributed to the fund from which the retirement benefit was being paid, and permitted States to take into account contributions made by the claimant. The amendment permitted States to refrain from offsetting substantial amounts of pension and other retirement income, but it did not prohibit the States from adhering to the original offset requirement or an offset requirement in excess of the minimum offset requirement.
Effect on Previous issuances. Over the years a number of UIPLs have been issue concerning the pension offset requirements. This has resulted in some confusion and misunderstanding as to the basic requirements of Section a 15 , FUTA. UIPL , dated October 23, , was issued to inform SESAs of Federal law requirements prohibiting the total reduction of benefit rights as a result of a disqualification imposed where an individual is only "eligible for" or has only "applied for" pension benefits.
A the requirements of this paragraph shall apply to any pension, retirement or retired pay, annuity, or other similar periodic payment only if-.
B the State law may provide for limitations on the amount of any such a reduction to take into account contributions made by the individual for the pension, retirement or retired pay, annuity, or other similar periodic payment;.
Basic Requirement. Section a 15 , FUTA, provides that if an individual is receiving retirement income, then the amount of unemployment compensation that might otherwise be claimed for any given week shall be reduced but not below zero by an amount equal to such income which is reasonably attributable to that week.
This deduction is conditioned, however, by the requirements contained in clauses i and ii in Subparagraph A of Section a 15 , FUTA. In addition, States may use the discretionary authority they have under subparagraph B to reduce the deduction otherwise required for the offset by taking into account employee contributions to retirement plans or programs.
Section a 15 , FUTA, reflects the minimum requirements for deduction which must be contained in State law. Although a State may, broaden the scope of deduction for pension payments beyond the requirements of the FUTA, it may not adopt less stringent conditions.
Because Section a 15 , FUTA, specifies that the reductions in unemployment compensation must occur for retirement payments "based on the previous work of such individual," the reduction applies only to retirement income collected by the person who actually earned this income.
It does not apply, for example to, a survivor's or widow's or widower's benefit that is payable to a survivor, and is not based on the previous work of that individual. Amounts equal to other types of disability compensation such as temporary disability insurance and worker's compensation including Black Lung benefits , which are not payable as retirement or pension payment, also are not required by Section a 15 ; FUTA, to be deducted. Based on the broad language of Section a 15 , FUTA, payments provided for undltr the programs or plans listed below are subject to the pension offset requirements:.

I came from a state with no State Income tax, called state I moved to, but automated system would not even take claim to transfer, called state I moved from, same automated stuff.
How does that even happen? If that money came out of a state with no state income tax, it should not be taxed by current state as that state has contributed nothing to it.
As state I came from pays lowest on threshold in benefits, and state I live in pays more, but taxes everything, apparently including unemployment received from another state. This was complicated by the pandemic, as I could only find part time work here, hours were cut, so also got some of those funds even though worked through the whole thing.
