"WASHINGTON, Mar. 2&-(Spe-dal)-To
qualify for a monthly
guaranty of. $100 as a aelf-enaplay-ed
veteran, you've got to be able
to show you're independently en
gaged in your
wn business. ;
The regulations
gay you must be
el f -employed
for profit in an
Independent es
t a b 1 1 s h ment,
trade, business,
profession or oth
er vocation."
What further
makes you
ble? Well, you Major nui .
must have been
in active service for at least nine
ty day (part of which was af
ter 18 September 1940). Mi you
were separated because of the
disability incurred in line of duty,
you don't need the full ninety days
1 service.
The only other requirement is
-that you "shall have been dis
charged or released from active
service under conditions other
than dishonorable."
Similar eligibility rules apply
for ex-service people who arent
working for themselves, but who
have worked for others and are
now out of a job
I've already mentioned this pro
vision in a previous column. But
it's so important that It will bear
further notice.
Joe is always a good name to
call a fellow without naming real
names. So let me tell you about
a guy named Joe. a veteran who
thought he was smart.
He had work, but he heard about
the GI Bill's provisions for un
employment pay. Thinking, he'd
; cut in on the gravy, he laid down
on the job. . Loafed whenever he
pleased, which was constantly,
and spent much time In the wash
room.
.-"Joe, you've lost interest," his
foreman told him. "What's eating
you?"
"Oh, nothing," Joe answered in
differently; then added, "Don't
like the work."
"How come you've suddenly
changed?" '
"Never did like it," Joe said.
"WelU the foreman warned,
you better get busy and like it."
So Joe stayed, but he didn't get
busy.
Th Tmrt THtaalatr ha aril turf
But he sauntered around to the
United States Employment office
to put in a claim for unemploy
ment pay. Wasn't he an ex-serv
Ice man? The country owed him
twenty bucks a week for a living.
He didn t get the living. There
was no gravy. Hi claim wasn't
accepted for that week nor for four
following weeks. And he didnt
take a job the USES told him
about even failed to go around to
the employer to see about it
Joe woke up after a while. He'd
learned that the GI Bill hadnt
created a twenty dollar a week
hand-out for loafers.
The GI Bill has a disqualifying
section which says a veteran cant
leave suitable work 'without good
cause. He's also out of luck for
unemployment pay if he's dis
charged for misconduct, or if he
fails to apply for or to accept suit
able work offeredby a public em
ployment agency, or ir he is with
" out work and. doesn't attend an
available free training course,
(From (A) Newsteatures).
