All States were asked today
by Secretary of Labor J. D,
Hodgson to take "earliest ap­
propriate action" to change
their laws to meet the require­
ments of the recent U.S. Sup­
reme Court derision on unem­
ployment Insurance program
The Court ruled on April
26 that California's unetn -
ployment Insurance payments,
could not suspend benefit pay­
ments to a claimant solely
because the employer appeal­
ed the determination allowing
the benefits.
The Court stated: "E a rly
payment of Insurance benefits
serves to prevent a decline In
the purchasing power of the
unemployed, which In turn
serves to aid industries pro­
ducing goods and services,"
The
Secretary
s a id ;
"Prom pt payment of unem­
ployment Insurance benefits
Is In the national Interest, and
the Court’ s decision affirms
this.
" A ll States have been asked
to review their laws and prac­
tices with the view of taking
appropriate action to conform
to the Court’ s Interpretation of
the Federal law at the earliest
practicable date. The practice
of suspending benefits In these
circumstances
has been
followed In most states.
"The objective of the UI
program la to put money In
the pockets of the unemployed
as soon as It ts ad minis -
tratlvely feasible after there
has been a determination of
eligib ility,” Secretary Hodg­
son said.

The Secretary said the de­

appeal rights of either em -

"But It does mean that after
a determination to pay benefits
the clal-.iant can’ t be deprived

be withheld, however, If the
