_ Harrisburg There seem to be
a good many misconceptions about
the new Pennsylvania Unemploy-
ment Com tion law. When
ever something as important to
the working population as unem- |
ployment compensation undergoes
the drastic changes it has under
our administration, it takes a
are fully understood.
As you know, we raised maxi.
mugn weekly benefits from $30
to wealtly. The $35 figure is
the MAXIMUM only. Not ever:
claimmnt will receive $5 It's
computed this way:
The Bureau of Employment Se.
curity will take the quarter (3-
© month period! of your base year
during which you earned the most
income. Let's say that your best
quarter was April-June during
which you earned $700 Your
weekly benefit check will be one-
twenty-fifth (4 per cent) of that
figure, of $28 a week If you
earned $500 during your best
quarter, your weekly check will
be $20. If you earned §1.000 dur-
ing your highest quarter you will
receive the £35 maximum
Under the old act vour week-
iy Benefit rate was computed on
the basis of 1-25th of the earn-
ings of the best guarter in your
base vear Now, your benefit
cheek will be computed either on
that basis or on the basis of 50
percent of vour full-time weekly
, whichever is greater
oid law decided on a ben-
fit riod for you determined
by iength of time you were
employed. It ran anywhere from
13 to 26 weeks Now, the benefit
period is 3 weeks for everyone of-
gible.
AR extra month and a half of
benefits are now available to wo-
men unemploved because of preg-
nancy. They are now eligible for
benefits during the first seven
and a hall months of pregnancy
{ Previously the period was six
months. As before, she will
tinue ineligible until a month
‘after confinement
| Under the old law, persons lea
iving work ‘because of martial
filial and domestic cricumstances”
fwere not entitled to benefits We!
little time before these revisions
have changed that to make eligi
ble those who leave work fo
reasons of a “necessmitous and
compelling nature”
“In other words Iaw now

nearest bureau of Employment
Security office in determine what
