Currently in Pennsylvania, it is possible for a retiree who worked for the state or municipal government to collect their pension even when they return to work for a temporary assignment, and then after the assignment ends, the retiree can collect both their pension and unemployment insurance. A bill, that passed the state House and Senate unanimously and is finally heading to the governor?s desk for a signature before becoming law, would prevent the collection of unemployment insurance for retirees currently collecting a state or municipal pension. The change is expected to save the state more than $1 million annually.
