Question about unemployment benefits and pension? Get free advice

Questioner

I have been receiving unemployment benefits for a year now. Next month my ex-partner is retiring and I will also receive a pension from the ex-partner (this was settled in the divorce). Is this pension from my ex-partner considered income and deducted from my unemployment benefit?

Your partner's income does not affect your unemployment benefit. This is only different if you receive an allowance on your unemployment benefit for a partner. Your partner's income does affect an allowance on your unemployment benefit.

The point is that I myself have a WW benefit and that I also receive an equalization pension from my ex-partner. The question is whether that equalization pension is deducted from my WW benefit.

My apologies for misinterpreting your question. For the sake of completeness, I refer you to the UWV, because even the UWV website does not provide a clear answer.
