These graphs show that we still have along way to the bottom if we are going to hit the numbers we did during those 4 years in the from 1929-1933. This slight uptick in consumer prices on the third graph hopefully shows that deflationary periods have stabilized, now lets just hope that all this money that they (the FED) printed to stimulate the economy can be reigned in before the inflationary period take hold when this is all over.

    You will be paid or have received a retirement pension or other similar periodic payment (including Social
    Security) for the week for which you claim benefits. One-half of your Social Security or retirement pension payment (if paid for in part by your base period or chargeable employer) or all of a retirement pension payment (if the base period or chargeable employer paid all of its cost) is deducted from your unemployment insurance benefits.

    Retirementpension/SocialSecurity

    is determined by using the following calculation: monthly amount of pension is divided by thirty (30) then multiplied by seven (7), which is the weekly pension amount. If the employer paid any part of the pension, then the weekly amount is divided by two (2) to determine one-half (50%).
    Primary Social Security benefits are always 50% deductible from your unemployment insurance benefit amount. For example, an individual receives $1030.50 a month in retirement pension, of which the employer paid part of the pension and the weekly benefit amount is $331.00.

    The formula is as follows

    $1030.50 ÷ 30 = $34.35 . . . . . . Daily Amount
    $34.35×7 = $240.45 . . . . . . . . . Weekly Retirement Amount
    $240.45÷2 = $120.225 . . . . . . . 50% of Weekly Amount
    $331.00 - $120.225 = $210.775 . .Round to Next Highest Dollar Benefit amount after
    retirement deductions . . . . . . . . $211.00

    Once you have collected all benefits payable on your regular UI claim, you may be eligible to file the first extension claim. If you are eligible to file the first extension, the Department will automatically file the first extension and send you additional continued claim forms. No action is required on your part.

    FAC is payable effective February 22, 2009. Therefore, the week-ending February 28, 2009 is the first week your unemployment payment will reflect the $25 FAC. Payment of FAC will continue through the week ending July 3, 2010 as long as your benefit year was established prior to January 1, 2010 and you continue to be eligible for unemployment benefits.

    FAC benefits are subject to federal and state taxes. If you are paid FAC to which you were not entitled, an overpayment will be established.

    An individual may not receive a FAC supplement if they are ineligible for unemployment benefits.

    YOUR FAC PAYMENT WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE INCLUDED WITH YOUR REGULAR PAYMENT AND IDENTIFIED SEPARATELY ON THE PAYMENT NOTICE.
