Smith, Chairman jof the Florida Industrial Com sion, said today. Congress has substituted the date of July 25, 1947, for the words “termination of the war” as they appear in Title V of the Serviceman’s Readjustment Act. This means that World War IL veterans of Florida who were dis- charged prior to July 26, 1947, will have until July 25, 1949, to draw their allowances. Veterans discharged after July 25, 1947, will have two years from the date of discharge to draw. Many veterans now have rights under both the Serviceman’s Re- adjustmant Act of 1944 and the Florida Unemployment Compen- sation Law, Mr. Smith said. He pointed out that from now on it will become increasingly im- portant for veterans who become unemployed to consider the ex- piration date of their rights un- der both programms, to be assured of maximum pro- tection under the two systems. Both new types of claims are filed through the local office of the Florida State Employment Service and the personnel of the offices will explain the difference with respect to the amount pay- able, duration, and expiration rights. The veteran may then elect the law under which he de- sires to file his claim.
