Unemployment
(Continued From Page One)
tributions to the State unemploy
ment compensation fund.
This money would have gone
into the Federal Treasury and no
part of it would have benefited
Alaska or Alaskans. By virtue
of having an Unemployment Com
pensation Act in the Territory,
the employer is allowed to take
credit for the tax of 1.8% levied
Under the Unemployment Com
pensation Act for the calendar
year 1937 on the Federal tax of
2%—in other words, 90%. In
short, the employer pays 1.8% in
to the Territory and .2% to the
Federal Government.
Each liable employer will be
given an industrial classification
number and the tax credited to
his account. The Commission
will use the employees’ Old Age
Benefit numbers and keep an ac
curate record of eah employee's
•wage records.
By the time the benefits first
become payable, which is Jan
uary 1, 1939, a system of employ
ment offices will have been es
tablished throughout the Terri
tory to assist in job placement
and benefit payment.
When an individual becomes
unemployed he is required to re
gister with the employment of
fice. The employment office will
immediately endeavor to place
the individual in another posi
tion. If it fails to dot so within
I
two weeks. and the individual,
has met the requirements of th^
Social Security Commission, he
will then be tendered a benefit
check. The amount of the check
will be based entirely upon thej
work record of the individual &i
will be one-half of his former'
full-time weekly wage, with a'
maximum weekly payment of
$15.00 for a period not to exceed
sixteen weeks.
itle VIII of the Federal Social
Security Act establishes a system
i of old age benefits. This Title
must not be confused with un
employment compensation as it
is an entirely different setup and
is in no way connected with un
employment compensation.
Title VIII imposes a tax upon
employees as well as employers
to the amount of one per cent for
the calendar years 1937, 1938 and
1939. This tax will be graduated
at one-half per cent every three
years until the total of three per
; cent is‘.A.ehed. On December
31, 1948. when the total of 3%j
will have been reached, the em-j
ployer will be paying 3% of his
payroll and the employee 3% of
his wage. The money collected
in this manner will be credited
to each employee upon whose
wage the tax is imposed. The
amount will accrue until the in
dividual has reached the age of
65 years, whereupon he will re
ceive a monthly old age benefit
check. The amount of the check
will be based upon the total
wages earned by such individual.
