The social security board would
like to see more pay «0 out for
ft longer period to men who lose
their Jobs.
This Ih another way of KdyltiK
the board favors a change in
the unemployment compensation
(laws along the lines of an amend-
ment proposed by Representative
MeCormnck 1 DM ass 1 and approv-
ed by the American Federation <«f
babor.
That amendment would pro-
vide 2tt weeks of benefits after
a man loses his job. He would
get from a minimum of $fi a week
up to 1. maximum of |24 a, week,
according to how much he named
while workiiiR. waiting only one
week «fter losing his Job before
he started to draw benefits.
Under the present laws, he
waits two weeks or longer before
beginning to draw benefits ex
the period to one week. He draws
those benefits an average of ten
weeks, or ranging from six or
seven weeks up t<> -,i maximum
of IB weeks. He draws anywhere
from IB to a maximum of about
|20.
The prompting for 11 campaign
to liboraltge the unemployment
compensation lews comes from the
fact thai the stales are develop
lug a huge reserve ruftd. H stands
now at a billion and half dol
la ra.
Members of the social security
board argue the present payments
are Inadequate and that it would
be hotter to push them up than
It would be to trim down the
tax payments in tin effort to level
«ifr the inflow with the outpour-
ing.
