12-172 C.M.R. ch. 21, § 1 - Pension Payments

Under subsection 9 of section 1193 of the Employment Security Law, certain periodic payments which individuals receive will reduce, but not below zero, the amount of unemployment benefits which that individual is entitled to receive for that week. Such periodic payments will affect claims which are filed for the period in which the periodic payment is actually received, without regard to the period for which the periodic payment is designated as being paid. If a periodic payment is paid for a period in the past, the benefit payments which were made for that period shall not be reconsidered. Pension payments will include, but not be limited to, the following:

A. Private employer pension plan. This is a pension plan which is maintained by a private (non-governmental) employer for its own employees.

B. Pensions for former government (nonmilitary) employees. These are plans which are maintained by the state or municipal governments and the government of the United States for retirement and disability retirement payments.

C. Military pension. This is retirement pay which is paid to former military service personnel, based on years of service. For purposes of this subsection, a service-connected disability payment which is based on a disability and is not based on years of service would not be deducted from an individual's benefits.

D. Social Security benefits. These are payments which are made by the United States government under the Social Security Administration.
