To amend section 4141.312 of the Revised Code to | 1 |
specify conditions under which a claimant's | 2 |
unemployment compensation benefits are not reduced | 3 |
by the amount the claimant concurrently receives | 4 |
in social security retirement benefits and to | 5 |
declare an emergency. | 6 |
Section 1. That section 4141.312 of the Revised Code be | 7 |
amended to read as follows: | 8 |
Sec. 4141.312. (A) | 9 |
section, the amount of benefits payable to a claimant for any week | 10 |
with respect to which the claimant is receiving a governmental or | 11 |
other pension, retirement or retired pay, annuity or any other | 12 |
similar periodic payment which is based on the previous work of | 13 |
the individual, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount | 14 |
of the pension, retirement or retired pay, annuity or other | 15 |
payment which is reasonably attributable to that week, except that | 16 |
the requirements for this division shall apply to any pension, | 17 |
retirement or retired pay, annuity, or other similar periodic | 18 |
payment only if both of the following apply: | 19 |
(1) The payment is under a plan maintained or contributed to | 20 |
by a base period employer or chargeable employer. | 21 |
(2) In the case of a payment under a plan not made under the | 22 |
"Social Security Act," 42 U.S.C. 401 | 23 |
Retirement Act of 1974," 45 U.S.C. 231 | 24 |
corresponding provisions of prior law, services performed for such | 25 |
employer by the individual after the beginning of the base period, | 26 |
or remuneration for such services, affect eligibility for, or | 27 |
increase the amount of, such pension, retirement or retired pay, | 28 |
annuity, or similar payment. | 29 |
(B) The amount of any disability pension, allowance, or | 30 |
payment paid to former members of the armed forces of the United | 31 |
States which is based on the nature and extent of the disability | 32 |
rather than a prior period of employment or service, shall not | 33 |
reduce or be deducted from the weekly benefits payable. | 34 |
(C) If a claimant has made a contribution to social security | 35 |
pursuant to the "Social Security Act," 42 U.S.C. 401 et seq., and | 36 |
that claimant is receiving a retirement payment pursuant to that | 37 |
act, the claimant's weekly benefit shall not be reduced by the | 38 |
amount of that retirement payment because the claimant contributed | 39 |
to social security. | 40 |
Section 2. That existing section 4141.312 of the Revised | 41 |
Code is hereby repealed. | 42 |
Section 3. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency | 43 |
measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public | 44 |
peace, health, and safety. The reason for such necessity is to | 45 |
provide immediate assistance to individuals who are deprived | 46 |
currently of their full unemployment compensation benefits under | 47 |
Ohio law. Therefore, this act shall go into immediate effect. | 48 |
