Entered in the Post Office in Nome as 2nd Class Matter MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS 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.
