nloyeda workers whose past employ
mont has been covered by their State
law and who have sufficient earnings
or employment to qualify under the
state law, it was stated today by u.
r. Parker, Regional Director OF the
Social Security Beard.
Among the % States and other
jurisdictions in which benefit pay
ments become effective after jan
nary /, 1888, is Maryland.
Mr.. Parker stated that no dement's
will be paid until the worker has
registered at a State employment
service Office and served waiting
neriod." which in Maryland is two
weeks with maximum Of three ad-
ditional-waiting period weeks for flu
ture periods of unemployment in the
benefit year.
Agricultural labor, maritime SER
vice and domestic service in private
homes are the principal occupations
not covered by State laws.
In applying for benefits, the unem-
Moved worker must first register for
work and file his claim at the local
employment service office. II the EN-
nloyment service is unable to place
the worker in suitable employment
and the worker cannot find a 1op
nv his own efforts, he will receive
benefits. if he is qualified, for as
many weeks thereafter as he remains
unemployed until he has exhausted
his rights under the law.
Mr.. Parker said that all States
determine the workers eligibility FOR
benefits. the duration of benefits, ana
the amount of the weekly benefit
check upon the basis of the workers
past employment or earnings. In
Maryland, where the waiting period
il two weeks, the third week OF un-
employment will be the first week
for which benefits are due.
The individual may receive up to
18 times his weekly benefit a1onfit

Workers who quit their JOBS
without cause or who are discharged
for misconduct will be subjected to
a longer waiting period than those
whose unemployment is due to plant
layoffs or other causes over which
the worker has no control.
Credit in computing unemploy-
ment benefits in Maryland, 1t was
stated, will be limited to work per-
formed for employers covered by the
Maryland law. During 1888 and
thereafter the Maryland law will
cover most industrial and CONNER
cial enterprises which have employed
four or more persons.
