eight full weeks, and is nnem-
«ioy^ more than two weeks aft
er JMtiary 1> if he meeU certain
redi^rementa, la eligible to draw
emei|d^oymeot compensation.
To-be tflglble for the benefits,
n worker mast first bare worked
at leeiet-eight full weeks In 1937,
er after January 1, 1937, in cov
ered employment.
TRie worker should register for
-work at his nearest Employment
Bervice office as soon as he be-
eomes unemployed, and must r»-
iwglster on or as soon after Jan
uary 1 as possible, which Is Jan
eary 3, since January 1, New
Tear's Day, and January 2, Sun
day, are holidays. At that time
the eligible unemploy^ worker
must file his claim for unem
ployment comi>ensatlon at the
■mployment Service office. He Is
required to report each week for
-work that may be found for him
by the Employment office, if he
does not find work himself.
After waiting two weeks, and
reporting weekly, the totally un
employed worker Is due compen
sation for the third week. How
ever, It will be the end of the
fourth week before he will ac
tually receive his pay for the
third week. In other words, his
pay will be one week behind, due
to the time It takes to get the
check written and back to the of
fice. He must report to the office
weekly thereafter to show that
ho Is still totalb unemployed *nd
to get hls weekly check.
The payments for total gnem-
ploiwont amount to ont«half the
normal wage,of the worker, but
not more than 81S a week. Tbej
lowest amount is |6 al week, or;
three-fourths of his normal wagoi
for the lower wage workers. Tor'
example. If a worker draws ISO
a week, or 80 a week or |80 a j
week, he will get only |15 a week |
in compensation. If he draws |
|20 a week normally, he will get
110 a week. If he draws |6
week normally he will draw
14.50, and it his usnal pay is M
a week, he will draw |3 a week,
which is three-iourths of hls
normal pay.
The length of time the pay
ments will continue depends up
on how much credit a worker
has, based on his wages while
employed. He must have worked
eight weeks before he can draw
any benefits.
In order to draw this unem
ployment compensation, however,
worker must be able to work
and willing to work. Unemploy
ment compensation is not a sick
benefit, and he cannot draw com
pensation If he Is sick. Nor can
the worker sit down and refuse
to work and still draw weekly
payments. The unemployed work
er must report for work each
week and take suitable work of
fered him.
In deciding what Is suitable
work, consideration is given to
the degree of risk Involved to his
health, safety and morals, his
physical fitness and previous
training, his experience and
former earnings, the length of
his unemployment and prospects
for local work In his customary
occupation, and to the distance
of available work from his resi
dence. An unemployed worker
may refuse a job offered that If
vacant because of a strike, lock
out or other labor dispute; if he
would be required to join a com
pany union or resign from or re
frain from joining any regular
labor organization; or, he can re
fuse a job if the remuneration,
hours or other conditions of work
are substantially less favorable
than those in similar work in the
locality.
On the other hand, a worker
who is other’»;se eligible for com
pensation, c anot draw it if he
is out of work because of a labor
at the place of hls em
ployment, unless he is not imr-
tlcipatlng in or financing or di-

order to qualify for benefit
payments a worker; must have
worhed at least eight weeks after
K Jan\|ar7.1, 1987, In covered em
^ploymeni, and thus eaUbliahed a
wage record, as reported by the
employers each three months.
Erom these quarterly repo-rts,
the re^ds in the office of the
commission are posted' and the
worker U given credit for one-
sixth of the wages he earns, but
not more than $65 for'the qnart-
This accumulated, amount.
one-sixth of his wages, Is the re
serve against which he Is entitled
to draw at the rate of one-half
hls normal wage, but not more
than $15 a week.
If the worker has accumulated
a sufficient amount (and It takes
work for about a year to accumu
late enough) he will be paid for
16 weeks, at the end of which
the payments stop. After 62
Jfeeks from the thiiib payments
used wage crediU and
unemployed, he begins ‘to

^^lU agalblit the beglnntog,-shtton, Instead of the fuU 18, tn
of the second beneflb year. 'HkU

As will he seen, th^’amount-of
wage credits .goeumulated deters
mlnes^ how long the payments
continue, and the norma! .WAge
determinea how much the work
er will draw each week—one-halt
the normal wage.
It a worker otherwise qualified
for unemployment compensation
works only a part of the time,
then he Is due to draw partial
benefits attw four weeks jraiQng
period of ^ partial employment.
Hls rate of benefits In such case
is an amount equal to the differ
ence between his weekly benefit
amount and five-sixths of the. pay
he gets tor the work be does that
week. For example, If a worker
Bormdily draws $16 a week, then
.hls unemployment oompensatlon
would be $8 a week. If, however,
during the week he works enough
to draw $6 In pay, then he will
draw the difference between $8
a week and five-sixths ($5) of
the $6 earned, which Is $3 a
week. This would give him the
tion, or $9, Instead of $8, which
