Question I live in New York State, I'm 66 years old, I was terminated by my company, I will be collecting a pension from that company. I applied for NY unemployment but was denied.
Reason, If I'm collecting a pension from the company I'm not entitled to unemployment.
I was terminated, I didn't retire, why can't I collect both my pension and unemployment?
Answer Anthony:
You do have the right to contest New York denial of unemployment benefit. You may have been terminated with cause, and started drawing a pension from the company, but, this does not prevent you from contesting your termination. This everyones right.
