Yes, under certain limited circumstances, receipt of pension from the last employer may be disqualifying, but there are complicated limits, such as who paid into the pension plan, etc. You should consult with an attorney knowledgeable in unemployment matters, so that your specific facts may be evaluated.

If you are collecting a pension, you are retired. Therefore you are not laid off. So you cannot collect unemployment.
