ITO CLARITY evident confusion in the minds of
applicants for iobess benefits, the Michigan
Unemployment Compensation Commission fur
nished the Times today with detailed answer to
question which is on thousands of tongues in the
Detroit area
"Am-I entitled to unemployment conpenso-
tion?"
XOU are the commission answers, if the condi-
tions of your employment meet these six re-
quirements
FIRST. you actually must be out of work, and
neither "floater" unemployabe.
You must have earned at least $3.50 in the previous
IL months ending the quarter of the prior to loss
of your job. That is, if you become unemployed in
of that year-you must have earned $3.50 between
April l, 1914 and last March 81. The period since
March 3I-Which includes the second quarter OF 1919
is not considered.
You must have earned some wages in each of two
quarters of that same IL month period For instance
if all your earnings came in April May and June, 1914,
you would qualify. But If you earned some
in April 1914 and the rest in other quarer-say
February of this year-you would be eligible for job
less benefits.
Most workers easily meet both these requTenents
and more than meet them
SECOND you MUST register for work at your
local employment service office.
THIRD. to get maximum credit you should file
your claim for unemployment compensation either the
first second business day following the day be-
come unemployed, get return appointment card
within that period.
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays not considered
business days in figuring the two-day filing period
Thus, If you lost your job Wednesday you should
file your claim Thursday Friday, unless holiday
intervenes. But if the layoH did until Fri
day, you would have Monday and Tuesday on which
to file.
