Since the war has not been off cially terminated yet, veterans al- ready discharged stiff will have two years after the official termination in which to file claims for unem- ployment benefits"
 A veteran may apply for allow ance as often as he becomes unem- ployed, Shute said, providing he does not voluntarily leave his em- ployment without good reason, or he is not discharged for cause, or he still has benefits available.
 A veteran may be eligible for re- adjustment allowances of up to SEQ per week for B weeks. If veteran is self employed and does not make S1CO Der month the allowance IS claimed. Should veterans become
