The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether severance pay for state employees should be reduced by unemployment benefits received during the same period. The lower court had ruled that such a reduction was permissible, but the Supreme Court rejected this view based on statutory interpretation. The court held that the specific provision granting severance pay does not contain language allowing for offset against unemployment benefits, unlike provisions for pensions or allowances.
