61-6-20. An individual is not entitled to any benefits for a week for which
(1)
Termination, vacation, holiday, severance, or dismissal payments or wages in lieu of
notice whether legally required or not. However, in the case of lump sum termination,
vacation, holiday, severance, or dismissal payments, the lump sum payment shall be
allocated over a period of weeks equal to the lump sum divided by the employee's
regular pay while employed. However, the payment shall be applied for a period of
weeks immediately following the last day of work. Payments made to an individual
based entirely on
his
the individual's
contributions to a fund from which the payments

Compensation for temporary partial disability under the workers' compensation law
of any state or under a similar law of the United States
; or
(3)
The prorated weekly amount of any pension, annuity or retirement payment including
disability pension payments, based on the previous work of the individual. This
subdivision applies only to primary social security retirement benefits and to payments
made under a plan contributed to by a base period employer. This does not apply to
military service-connected disability payments or to that part, if any, of a pension,
annuity or retirement payment that is attributable to contributions of the individual
.
If such remuneration is less than the benefits which would otherwise be due under this
chapter,
he
the individual
shall receive for such week, if otherwise eligible, benefits reduced by
the amount of such remuneration.
