New help for unemployed Jobless workers who are not eligible for unemployment compensation may possibly qualify for a new type of benefits, Special Unemployment Assistance. The new unemployment assistance measure is authorized under the Special Employment Assistance Act of 1974 which President Gerald Ford signed into law December 31. Special Unemployment Assistance makes unemployment benefits possible for persons such as domestics, agricultural workers, employees of city and county governments, and various other workers currently ineligible for unemployment compensation. In Texas, SUA claimants can receive a maximum of $63 per week for as long as 26 weeks, Rothell said. SUA payments will be made entirely from federal funds and paid in accordance with the general provisions of the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act.

Workers who have insufficient earnings in covered employment to be eligible for unemployment compensation under any state or federal law, may qualify for SUA if they present evidence of ployment and earnings during the 52 weeks prior to filing their claim which would be sufficient to qualify for unemployment insurance if the work had been in covered, employment. An SUA claim may be filed at the nearest Texas Employment Commission local office or itinerant service point in the state. When a worker goes to an office to file a claim, he should take his Social Security card and a list of names and addresses of all for whom he "work'ed'during the most recent 52 weeks, along with documentary proof of work and earnings, the TEC administrator said.
