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Code is hereby repealed.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