Three Months More
Before All Alaskans Are
Working, Sheldon Says
R. E. Sheldon, executive di
rector of the Employment Secur
ity Commission, this week pre
dicted that it will be another 90
days before the majority of Alas
ka’s unemployed are back at
work. •
In the meantime, Mr. Sheldon
asked those claiming unemploy
ment benefits to make certain
their original applications for aid
are complete. He said there are
many instances where benefit
checks have been delayed, be
cause the claimant has not given
t lie Commission all necessary in
formation.
The director estimated that it
now takes three or four days to
process claims through the Juneau
office, after application is received
there. He urged that everyone I
give his application sufficient
time for processing, before ad- >
dressing a letter of inquiry to his
office.
