Summary:
Earnings: 1) pension 2) private plans
The claimant was receiving a pension from the Commission de la Construction du Québec in addition to a pension from the Quebec Pension Plan. Section 35 of the Regulations holds that income from such sources must be taken into consideration when determining benefits to which a claimant may be entitled. The claimant argues that at the start of his benefit period, he was informed by a Commission officer that he did not have to declare his retirement income. However, on his original benefit claim the claimant answered in the negative the question "Are you receiving a pension or will you be receiving a pension in the next 52 weeks?" The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
