Act 75 Bans Triple Dipping

Gov. Tom Corbett has turned HB 421 into Act 75 of 2013 ending the practice of “triple dipping” by state government retirees who return to work  and then collect unemployment benefits, reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).  Act 75 Bans Triple Dipping

In the past three years of the Obama recession, more than 600 state retirees have temporarily returned to work  only to leave and start collection unemployment. They have collected $2 million in benefits while simultaneously receiving a state pension, says Cox.

“Passing House Bill 421 is another example of the Legislature’s efforts to reform the Commonwealth’s unemployment compensation system to ensure the system is benefiting only those who truly qualify,” said Cox.
