Chapter 192-190 - Deductions from unemployment benefits
Section 192-190-025 - How is the pension deduction calculated?

Universal Citation: WA Admin Code 192-190-025

Current through Register Vol. 24-18, September 15, 2024

(1) The share contributed by the employer to the pension is deductible from benefits. The amount of the deduction equals the percentage of the contribution(s) made by the base year employer as of the last pay period in the base year in which the contribution(s) was made. The department will prorate the employer's share to a weekly amount.

(a) The department will presume the services you provided to the employer in the base year affected eligibility for or increased the pension amount unless you provide verification from the employer or the pension fund administrator showing otherwise.

(b) The department will presume you made no contribution to the pension unless you provide evidence satisfactory to the department that such a contribution was made.

(2) A disability pension based entirely on the percentage of disability is not deductible. For example, disability payments paid by the Veterans Administration (VA) based on extent of injury are not deductible.

(3) Retirement benefits paid by the Social Security Administration are not deductible from benefits.

(4) For purposes of this section, "pension" includes retirement benefits or retired pay, annuity, or other similar periodic payment.
