was amended, shortening the wait
ing period to two weeks. This con-
tinued until 1949, when the waiting
period was again shortened, this
time to its present length of one
week.
Even with this abbreviation, four
weeks must generally elapse be-
fore the claimant receives his first
check, Bureau officials say. The
reason is that the claimant must
make three successive visits to his
local BUC office on three success
sive calendar weeks before the
first claim can be approved or
allowed The allowed claim must
then be sent to Columbus where
the account is set up and the check
is written and mailed to the claim
ants home address.

BUG. Begins 10Th
Consecutive Year

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio
Bureau of Unemployment Com
pensation was launched Tuesday
on its 18th consecutive year.
As a guide for its opera IONS, it
IS administering a law vastly diff
ferent from the Act under which
the first check was paid on Janu-
ry 81, 1899.
In that year, which was destined
to witness the beginning of World
War II with FIitler's march into
Poland, Ohio began paying unem-
ployment checks attuned to a re-
eeding depression era. Renumera-
tons at that time were based on a
Ermula of limiting claimants to
one-half their average weekly
wage, the maximum being $500
for sixteen weeks.
Ohio now pays its unemployed
maximum weekly amount of $1,000
plus dependency allowances of
$3.50 weekly for one child under
l8, maximum of $500 for two or
more dependent children.
Maximum renumerations have
been inched up through the years.
Set at $240 in the original law
they were increased to S2s8 in
1941, 1852 in 1915, $3.50 in 1919
$I28 in 1852, and $78O in 1853, The
addition of dependency allowances
IN l949 increased the maximum for
claimants with two dependents to
$3.50 in 1949, 1858 in 1852, and S910
in 1853. ' ~04o
From January, 1889, to 1941, the
claimant had to serve a three-week
waiting period. In 1871, the law
