Description
Summary:1948 1948 1940s 32 pages : illustrations 9. Are there Contribution Conditions for Benefit? For most of the benefits there are two contribution conditions to be fulfilled. FIRST : Before any benefit at all can be paid to you, you must have a certain number of contributions actually paid since your insurance started. SECOND : Before the full rate of benefit can be paid to you, you must have a certain number of contributions either paid or "credited" over a specified period. For Guardian's Allowance and Industrial Injury Benefits there are no contribution conditions. Contribution conditions for each benefit will be found in Part Three. Before you read about them there you must understand what is meant by "Contribution Year" and "Benefit Year". 10. Contribution Year. At present the contribution year for all insured persons is the same, i.e., July to July, and the contribution cards are all exchanged in that month. In the new Scheme, in order to spread out the work, there will be four different contribution years running from different dates, and one quarter of all the cards will be exchanged every three months. In order to change from the old system to the new, the first cards issued under the new Scheme, although all starting from July 1948, will end on four different dates, i.e., the first weeks in March 1949, June 1949, September 1949 or December 1949. You can tell which will be your contribution year by the date on which your first new card ends. Your future cards will run for a year from that date. 11. Benefit Year. Your benefit year is a period of twelve months starting about five months after the end of your contribution year. Your rate of Sickness or Unemployment Benefit 10 345/3/2/10
