Florida: Can FRS pension be collected at the same time as unemployment benefits?

[Chyvan]

Depends on what kind of "retirement" check it is, how much, who's paying it, and your weekly UI amount. I guess the simplest answer to your question is that YES you will be eligible for UI based on the reason for your separation, but it is unknown if you will actually get paid any UI money because of the imprecise nature of your question.

Whatever portion of this pension is partly or fully-funded by the State will be deducted from your weekly benefit, as was stated in the post immediately above yours, here:

One can collect FRS (Florida State Retirement) pension benefits at the same time as unemployment benefits, but the amount of the FRS payments would be deducted from unemployment benefits which currently max out at $275 per week.
