N.J. Admin. Code § 12:18-3.4

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 12:18-3.4 - Reduction of benefits

(a) The amount of benefits otherwise payable to a claimant under the State plan for any week of disability, or part thereof, shall be reduced by the amount paid concurrently under any governmental or private retirement, pension or permanent disability benefit or allowance program to which his or her most recent employing unit contributed on his or her behalf. If such latter benefits are being paid on a monthly basis, the amount thereof to be deducted for each day of disability shall be determined as 1/30 of such monthly amount, multiplied by seven, and the amount (disregarding any fractional part of a dollar) shall be subtracted from the weekly benefit rate. If such latter benefits are being paid on a weekly basis, the amount thereof to be deducted for each day of disability shall be determined as 1/7 of the weekly amount multiplied by the number of days of disability during that week and that amount (disregarding any fractional part of a dollar) shall be subtracted from the weekly benefit rate.

(b) The amount of benefits payable to a claimant under the State plan for any week of disability, or part thereof, shall not be reduced by the amount of benefits payable under any program as mentioned above, unless one or more payments thereunder have been received by the claimant prior to the date on which the check in payment of benefits under the State plan is issued.

Amended by R.1994 d.241, effective 5/16/1994.
