These Are The Major Changes
In New Unemployment Pay Law

(Continued from page 3)

vents employment) and:

2. Orphaned, OR with parents
who are dependent on someone
claiming ~compensation, but not
necessarily the one who claims
the brother or sister as a depen-dent.

Half brothers or sisters are also

considered. dependents on -the
same basis. However, another
part of the law states: ~A<DE
PENDENT, IN~ ADDITION: TO
ANY OTHER DEFINITION OF
A DEPENDENT CONTAINED
IN THIS ACT, MEANS AN UNEMPLOYED PERSON, WHO AS
OF THE BEGINNING DATE OF
AN INDIVIDUAL~S CURRENT
BENEFIT YEAR, IS AND HAS
BEEN SOLELY OR PRINCEPALLY SUPPORTED. BY SUCH INDIVEIDUAL.~

It will take a Philadelphia haw~yer to figure that one out. An
unemployed worker should.claim
as a dependent ANYONE who is
actually dependent.on him~his
wife, a parent UNDER 65, a
cousin, a nephew, ~a grandparent
-or grandson, or a ~neighbor.

This question may go to. the
courts., Since no one knows now
what the courts will decide, you
should always ~laim as a dependent anyone whom you are gal |
porting.

However, when you claim someone as a dependent, be sure to

give all the information reques- |

ted by the

office.
