Chapter 15. Disqualification for Benefits
22-4-15-8. Private Unemployment Benefit Plans

Sec. 8. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this article, benefits otherwise payable for any week under this article shall not be denied or reduced on account of any payment or payments the claimant receives, has received, will receive, or accrues right to receive with respect to or based upon such week under a private unemployment benefit plan financed in whole or part by the claimant's employer or former employer. No claim for repayment of benefits and no deduction from benefits otherwise payable under this article shall be made under IC 22-4-13-1(d) and IC 22-4-13-1(e) because of payments which have been or will be made under such private unemployment benefit plans. However, a payment of private unemployment benefits that is conditional upon the signing of a release of employment related claims against the claimant's employer is severance pay and is deductible income as prescribed by IC 22-4-5-2.
