Unemployed Retirees Claim Pension Earnings Debate
Retirees who draw pensions can also receive full unemployment benefits if they show they were forced to retire and seek new work. An AP analysis of Census data found 161000 pensioners received $187 million in unemployment pay in 1974, with 90000 government and 71000 private pensioners also getting Social Security in many cases. Senator Bartlett proposed curbs, arguing unemployment insurance should aid the jobless, not those with guaranteed retirement income.
