Will other Income Reduce my Benefits?


Vacation, holiday and severance pay may reduce your unemployment benefits when paid under certain conditions. If you receive these types of pay while claiming unemployment benefits, you must report this information when you file your initial application or weekly claim for payment.


Certain retirement pensions will reduce your weekly benefit if the employment you are receiving the pension from is also your base period employment (the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters).


If you are receiving a pension, you may download and complete a form entitled "Pension Statement" from our web site by clicking on the "Documents" link at the top of page or you may report the pension to a claims specialist through the Kansas Unemployment Call Center.


If your pension reduces your weekly benefit amount (WBA), you will receive a Notice of Determination to let you know of this reduction.


Examples of pensions that may reduce your benefits include:


Military retirement
Union pension
Private employer pension
Federal civilian pension
State, county or city pension


Note: Social Security benefits will not reduce your weekly benefit amount.
