Amends the Internal Revenue Code requirement that States reduce the amount of unemployment compensation payable for any week by the amount of any pension, retirement pay, annuity, or other similar benefits received by an individual, to limit the application of such requirement to payments under a plan maintained or contributed to by a base period employer (any employer who paid wages on which the unemployment insurance eligibility of the claimant and the amount and duration of benefits is based) where services performed for such employer by the individual during the base period (or remuneration for such services) affects eligibility for, or increases the amount of, such pension, retirement or retired pay, annuity, or other payment.
