Workers in Palo Pinto county

Roy Epperson, supervising ex-

ting without good cause may result
in a claimant's being assessed one
of the stiffest penalties of the unem-
ployment compensation law."
He explained that the penalty for
quitting without good cause ranges
from the loss of one benefit check
to the loss of all benefit checks.
“The intent of the law is to help
the worker who is unemployed
through no fault of his own," Epper-
son declared, “and it is not to be
confused with old age benefits or
relief.” »
