The change is the result of action by the 1047 state legislative session, which changes the. benefit year to July 1-June 30, the base year Ir determiuing oi Dencm right, from October 1 -September 30 to January 1-Decetnber 31, and bars from benefits those who earned " than $S0Q in the base yr.r while increaaina; payment to thiw who earned more than S1.450. prirwinllT affected by the lim iting ol eligibility .are (.seasonal cannery workers. Heretofore the lower limit has been $200 earn ings in the oase period. However, official said, another amend ment approved by the legislature provides additional benefits for certain workers with earnings in two or more seasonal operations. - At the other end of the- scale", with over 11.523 in base year wages would receive up to $20 a week instead of $18; which has .been the maximum since IMS. The maximum number of weeks during which benefits can be received is 20 per year. While actual compensation can not tart, until after a preliminary -waiting week and an additional w-ek -without work, early claim fihr.g will allow time to deter mine walkers' rights to benefits. New claims have been received this week from several thousand unemployed who have been re ceiving payment during the cur rent -benefit period Combined with the altered bene fit period, which starts during high, seasonal employment " per iods, the change in base year is expected to spread out the deluge of claims which' has heretofore occurred in December and Jan uary, when many are unemploy ed, and to improve the commiis sion's task of checking claims and employers' reports. Since the base year currently In use includes up to the last of September and the one to be used fter July 1 Includes all of 1946, many of the present claim ants can use again most of the 1946 wage credits for benefits. Nearly 55,000 persons , have filed 1947 claims, during the past-j six months, but only 5,258 re- reived checks this week, the com mission ajd. About 8,000 ex hausted their benefit rights dur ing the period. Officials stated that out of 450, 000 Oregon worker covered by unemrjlovment compensation dur ing 1946. about 29,000 were in the' $20O-$300 per year earning class, which now has no claim.
