(a) The amount of the benefit reduction shall be determined by taking into account contributions made by the individual for the pension, retirement or retired pay, annuity or other similar periodic payment. The following schedule will apply:

1. If such payment is made under a plan to which the individual did not contribute, the weekly and maximum amount of benefits payable to the individual shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of the pension, retirement or retired pay, annuity or other payment which is reasonably attributable to such week provided that the reduced weekly benefit amount shall be computed to the next lower multiple of $ 1.00 if not already a multiple thereof.

2. If such payment is made under a plan to which the employer and individual contributed, the amount of benefits payable to the individual for any week will be reduced by an amount equal to 50 percent of the amount of the pension, retirement or retired pay, annuity, or other payment which is reasonably attributable to such week, provided that the reduced weekly benefit amount shall be computed to the next lower multiple of $ 1.00 if not already a multiple thereof.

3. If such payment is made under a plan to which the individual contributed 100 percent, the amount of benefits payable to the individual for any week shall not be reduced.

4. No reduction in benefits shall be made if the pension, retirement or retired pay, annuity or other similar periodic payment received by the individual is from the Social Security pension to which the individual has made any contribution.
