1 A Handbook on State Unemployment Insurance Laws [i] (1950)

handle is hein.scsl/nycbaraaeg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: P. HANDBOOK ON STATE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE LAWS INTROIUCTION This handbook is designed primarily as a source of information for local em- ployment office personnel in connection with interstate benefit claims. It should be used only to answer questions about the provisions of the unemploy- ment insurance law of a State from which an individual wishes to claim, or has claimed, unemployment benefits. In no case should a local office employee attempt to discourage the filing of a claim on the basis of data presented in the handbook, nor should the order of succession of liable States as estab- lished by the uniform interstate regulation be altered because of the operation of the provisions outlined here. The handbook presents, State by State, a digest of the provisions of the law most likely to bear on questions concerning interstate claims for benefits. The type of week used by each State in processing claims for total unemploy- ment appears opposite the State name on each digest. in most States the period of time defined as the base period is used to determine whether the claimant meets the wage and employment requirements for benefits, the weekly benefit amount, and potential duration of beef its. A few States use a different period to determine whether the claimant has enough wages and the duration of benefits. For those States the period given as the base period in item 1 of these digests is the period used in determining potential duration of benefits; the qualifying period is indicated under wage qualificati on. The digests include the size-of-firm limitation on coverage but do not include information with respect to employment excluded from coverage under the State laws. Certain employments are excluded from coverage under practically all State laws, either by specific provision or because of con- stitutional limitations. The usual exclusions are: (1) agricultural labor, (2) domestic service in a private home, (3) certain family employment, (4) service for a State or the Federal Government, (5) service for nonprofit charitable, educational, or scientific institutions, and (6) service covered by a Federal unemployment insurance system. Certain miscellaneous exclusions under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act were added by the social. Security Act amendments of 1939 and 1946. Many States have followed these exclusions. The significant miscellaneous exclusions are: (1) insurance and real estate agents on commission, (2) casual labor not in the course of the employer's business, (3) service for nonprofit organizations exempt from Federal income tax if the emuneration does not exceed ga i per calendar quarter, or the service is for a fraternal beneficiary society and is ritualistic in character or is in connection with collection of dij1 and is performed away from its home office, or is service performed by a student, (4) student nurses and internes, (5) students' part-time service for private schools, and (6) domestic service in a college club or fraternity.
