 Your benefits may be postponed if you cult your job voluntarily for per sonal reasons or for reasons not con- nected with the job, or if you are dis charged for wilful misconduct.
 The Connecticut Unemployment Compensation Act declares that you can turn down a job and still get benefits: CD if the position offered is vacant due directly to q strike, lockout, or other labor dispute, CD if the wage, hours, or other conditions of the work offered are substantially less favorable to the individual than those prevailing for similar work i'm the locality; (3) if as 8 condition of being employed the individual would be required to join a company union or to re- sign or refrain from joining any bona fide labor organization.

The low est minimum check is $6. which will change to $8 starting January l, 1946.
 The number of weeks for which you will receive checks depends on the amount of your earnings in em- ployment covered by law. The maxi mum is l8 weeks, but will be in- creased to 20 next January l.
 If you are a veteran you get special benefits: $2O week up to g weeks. Veterans should familiar ize themselves with the C.I. Bill of rights.
 If you move to another state, you may file claim for benefits from the state in which you worked by apply ing at the public employment office nearest your new home.
 If your claim meets the various requirements of the law you will re- ceive your first benefit check about three weeks after registration. There must be one week of waiting period of total, partial or part-tOtal unemployment to entitle you to first benefits. This means that gen. orally the first benefit check will be mailed from the central office upon the expiration of the second week plus few days for process ing.
