A veteran may not receive read

period that he is in receipt of sub
sistence allowance for education or
or increased pension for vocational
rehabilitation under Public, No. 16,
18th Congress. The amount of the
allowance will be reduced by the
amount received or accrued for the
same period under any Federal or
State unemployment or disability
compensation law, but no reduction
will be made on account of pension,
compensation, or retired pay paid
by the Veterans Administration.
Other requirements are that the
veteran must % reside in the
United States; (2) be completely
unemployed-or, if partially en-
ployed, at wages less than $23 per
week; (3) be registered with, and
reporting to, a public employment
office; and (4) be able to work and
available for suitable work. The
allowance will not be denied where
failure to meet the requirements
just enumerated is due to illness
or disability which occurs after
registration for work and claim for
the allowance has been filed.
A veteran may be disqualified
from receiving allowances with re-
spect to one or more weeks for
certain causes specified in the Act,
such as % leaving suitable work
voluntarily and without good cause

A veteran who is self-employed
for profit in an independent estab-
lishment, trade, business, profess
sion, or other vocation, is eligible
for readjustment allowances if his
net earnings are less than 800 for
the previous calendar month, the
amount of the allowance being the
difference between his net earn
ings and 800. The provisions re-
lating to registration for employ
ment, etc, and the disqualification
(referred to in the two paragraphs
Immediately preceding) do not ap-
ply to the self-employme. Allow
ances for the self-employed are
first payable for the month of Oc-
tober 1914.
The veteran, if unemployed
should register for employment al

flee and, after registration, file
claim for readjustment allowance
with the claims taker for the State
unemployment compensation a.
gency. The registration officer
and the claims taker are frequently
located in the same room and gen.
orally in the same building.
Veterans claims for allowances
for months of self-employment
should also be filed at the public
employment office, but such veter-
ans will not be required to register
for employment.
The veterans discharge or sep
aration papers must be presented
at the time the first claim is filed.
Any veteran whose claim for al
lowance has been denied by the To-
cal office is entitled to a fair hear
ing before an impartial tribunal of
the State agency. The decision of
the agency may be appealed to the
representative (the Readjustment
