INCOME THAT MAY AFFECT BENEFIT PAYMENTS

Certain types of other income may affect your benefit payment. These include but are not limited to:

  • severance, notice, or retention pay, and any other payments made because of separation from employment
  • sick pay and holiday pay
  • vacation pay, unless you are permanently separated from the employer
  • payments from a 401K or other pension plan to which your base period employer contributed
  • social security retirement or disability benefits, unless you were approved for them before your base period
  • workers’ compensation or other insurance for loss of wages, if an employer contributed to the insurance or fund
  • back pay for periods you received unemployment benefits

If benefit payments are affected by any income, you will be sent a written determination explaining the effect. You can also view this information online at www.uimn.org by logging in to your account.

The following types of income will NOT affect benefit payments:

  • earnings from service in the National Guard or a U.S. military reserve unit
  • supplemental social security income and survivor’s benefits
  • investment income (including personal IRAs)
  • jury duty or election judge pay
  • rental income from property you own
  • earnings for service calls as a volunteer firefighter or volunteer ambulance service personnel (on-call or standby pay is deducted)
  • spousal or child support payments paid to you*

*Court-ordered child support payments that you are required to pay may be deducted from your benefit payments and sent to the county child support collection agency.
