Benefits are not
payable to you in the full amount if you are also receiving:
- social security benefits,
- a pension, annuity, or
other retirement pay under
a Federal, State, or local law (such as a railroad retirement
annuity, military retirement pay, a policeman’s or fireman’s
pension, etc.),
- certain workers’ compensation payments,
or
- any other social insurance
payment under any law.
If you meet the other eligibility requirements,
you may receive benefits only in the amount by which your
unemployment benefits exceed the other payments.
Be sure to report
all such other payments on each claim you file. If you do
not, you may later be required to refund benefits. If the
other payments are awarded after you claim unemployment
benefits, but cover some or all of the same days, contact
the RRB immediately about repayment of the benefits you
received.
If you are awarded an annuity under the
Railroad Retirement Act for days you were already paid unemployment
benefits, you will have to refund some or all of your benefits.
Generally, the amount you must repay is withheld from your
accrued annuity. Your annuity award letter or notice of
annuity adjustment will show the amount of any unemployment
benefits withheld. Verify the amount by comparing it to
the amount of unemployment benefits you received for the
same period. Contact your local
RRB office immediately if you believe the amount withheld
is incorrect. You will be required to refund benefits to
the RRB if the full amount was not withheld from your accrued
annuity.
