Payments Are Less
Balance Is Lower
The balance in the Alaska Un
employment Compensation Fund
as of October 31, 1955 was $3,435,
609.19 as compared with $4,443,231
a year ago, it was revealed by the
Employment Security Commission.
The benefit formula of the new
Act became effective July 3, 1955.
During the first four months’ ex
perience, benefit payments have
aggregated $338,268.23 as compar
ed with $793,929.86 for the same
four months a year ago. This de
crease of 57% in unemployment
insurance payments is largely due
to a 45% decrease in initial claims
requests.
To illustrate further, during the
four months ended October 31,
1955, 4,348 unemployed workers
filed for unemployment insurance
as compared with 7,863 for the
same four months in 1954. 1,020 of
these 4,348, or about 23% were in
eligible for any benefits because
they did not meet the eligibility
requirements of the 1955 Act. On
the other hand, only 801 of the
7,863, or about 10% failed to meet
the $300 qualifying wage require
ment of the old ESC Act.
Therefore, there were actually
only 3,328 eligible claimants so far
n
during the current year, a' reduc
tion of approximately 53% below
the 7,062 eligible claimants for the
same period a year ago.
