Ma Unemployment Insurance Number 21n a series of 7 . By GORDON HARDY | “ “When dealing with the- Unemployment Insurance Commiasfin you can never ‘say definitely what is going on.” So says Allan ‘MacLean,a lawyer with the ‘Vancouver ommunity Tegal Assistance Society. But officials of’ the ‘Commission answer that People claiming benefits (claimants) often don’t pay attention to the in- Yormational material the commission provides in six languages. Tony Strachan, an information officer for the UIC, complains that the gutters outside commission offices are often strewn with this materlal. Wherever the truth may te ts safe to say that applying for unemploymen benefits can be baffling. First question: who can fet benefits? According to regent le, tion you have to work and pay ‘premiums for at least eight weeks tobe eligible. (Bill C- 27, now before Parliament, would stretch this period to twelve weeks.) But you must have been working in what is called ‘insurable employment’ and this is ided not by the Unem- ployment Insurance Commission but by the Department of National Revenue. Government sponsored make-work projects are particularly tricky in this regard. There was the sad case of a young couple who worked on a government sponsored project a few years ago, paid premiums, en collected benefits after the project terminated. They were ordered by UIC wo pay back $3,000 when National Revenue decided that the job was not ‘‘in- surable’’. You are not eligible for eanemployment-inusrance if : , you are self-employed by i your spouse. Nor are you id ble if you are 65 or : older. : It is your employer's j regonsibility to deduct your } premiums from your pay | ue, 3 en you want to claim . foe benefits you can pick up i the application kit at your ' wearest UIC office. The kit ‘ contains various pamphlets ; which you should not throw » in the gutter. ' According to MacLean, : should be very careful hh silling out the application ! form. If, for example, you ; have quiet your job, and 3 explanation for quit- Tngibnet satisfactory as far , as UIC officals are con) : cerned, you can lose up to - : six weeks of benefits. That_ r is, they will disqualify you from any money for six weeks if they without ‘just cause’’. “For example,’ says MacLean, “if your doctor told you that you would definilely have a nervous bleakdown if you stayed on at a certain job, that’s probably just cause. If you : quit because you don’t e colour your office, that probably is not.” According former employer has five days from your last day of work to provi Certificate, your “genaration slip’’. This | certificate tells” the Com: | mission how much money you were making and how von you worked, since you get about sixty-six per cent of your weekly ear- nings in benefits, the Commission needs to know how much you earned in a ical week. ’ for some reason, you don’t have the certificate when you are ready to fle your claim, file anyway.

Jack Nichol,.president of the United Fishermen and AlHed Workers Union, said the union has yet to decide whether or not to accept the er. He said the matter will be discussed at ai union meeting next Wednesday attended by negotiators for the three sections currently in negotiations—shore workers, tendermen and salmon fishermen. In the meantime, he said, talks are continuing with the fish companies. - wondered, a different motivation for each ear? The theory that deterioration is due to “noise in the nervous system” is flawed by ex- ceptions, he said. The noise theory, he. added, ‘‘is silent about noise in middle age,” when little deterioration is observed. . Schonfield said aging has a bad image, which con- tributes to scientific con- fusion. People often think of it as synonymous with deterioration, followed by death, he said. ‘*The introduction of death intensifies the unpleasant flavor of growing old.” The counter examples of antiques, fine wines and bluejeans have parallels in human biology—age need not imply deterioration, and may even bring im- provement, through in- creased psychological stability, for example—he said, BIG JOHNS | DELICATESSEN GROCERIES 10 AM: 10 PM 7 DAYS A WEEK 72.
