wish to file a claim for insurance
benefits, do not need to pay any,

Jeffrey, manager of the Whining

Recent inquiries received at the
local office, he said, indicate a be-
lief on the part of some workers
that they need to pay for the serv-

to be sure that their rights are
protected. Jeffrey said that pro-

Security board furnish employees
with every assistance in checking
their accounts and in filing claims
