A.A. Anaheim Gazette (Anaheim, Thursday, Sep. 15, 1940) YOUR LEGISLATOR AT WORK SENATOR JOHN A. MURDY, JR. State Senator Though our California unemployment insurance law was enacted before the federal social security act was passed, many of its provisions were based upon those which Congress had already indicated would be approved in the federal bill. Among these provisions was one which exempted from coverage of the federal unemployment tax act the employees of certain non-profit organizations, such as schools, hospitals, and welfare groups. This same exemption was therefore written into our state law. There is some evidence in the printed hearings on the federal bill as to why this exemption was granted. First, it was argued that such non-profit units depend primarily on gifts and donations for most of their financial support, so to tax them even for unemployment insurance would reduce their usable income. Second, their functions generally substitute for, and improve upon, services which governmental agencies would otherwise have to provide at taxpayer expense. These same arguments were probably used before the 1935 Legislature when it was considering our unemployment insurance bill. MEAT DEPARTMENT WE FEATURE ONLY U.S.D.A.

Second, their functions generally substitute for, and improve upon, services which governmental agencies would otherwise have to provide at taxpayer expense. These same arguments were probably used before the 1935 Legislature when it was considering our unemployment insurance bill. Recently a subcommittee of the Assembly interim committee on finance and insurance held a hearing on various aspects of our unemployment insurance system. Because a proposal for extension of the system to cover employees of non-profit institutions had been introduced at our 1959 session, though ultimately rejected, the idea was again brought up for review at this hearing. In the past, efforts to enact this extension of coverage have generally been opposed by spokesmen for the management of non-profit organizations. But this time, to the surprise of some observers, one element of the non-profit group supported coverage for its employees. The representative who spoke for non-profit hospitals said they are now ready to accept coverage. He warned the subcommittee, however, that it would be necessary for the hospitals to increase their rates as much as $1 per patient day to raise enough money to pay the unemployment taxes required. It was added that this raise in rates only points up the fact that it is the final consumer of any kind of goods or services who must really pay the costs of the unemployment insurance system. As I said, this change in attitude came as quite a surprise to some, including spokesmen for other types of non-profit institutions. It will be interesting to observe its effect on any proposals for extension of the unemployment insurance law at our coming session. A number of other matters were also brought up at this hearing. One of them relates to the filing of claims for unemployment insurance bill.

One of them relates to the filing of claims for unemployment insurance benefits by workers entitled to receive vacation or severance pay. At the present time, if a worker files a claim, and it is later found that he was entitled to such pay, his claim is classed as "invalid" and tossed out the window, even though the state has already gone to the considerable expense of figuring his benefits and mailing required notices. A change in the law, to keep such claims in active status, the department of employment estimates, would save up to $80,000 per year. The department of employment also submitted several preliminary or partial reports on its studies of the attachment of individuals to the labor market. Since the underlying theory of unemployment insurance is that benefits should be available only to individuals who are actually in the labor market and looking for work, such studies will be useful in helping us to keep the law in line with its purpose.
