Several Elements in UIC
Act Undergoing Changes

Most readers are aware by
pow that the recent budget
§nnouncement contained much
about Unemployment Insur-

‘ance,

\. This article will outline
home of the pro amend-
ments to the Unemployment
Insurance Act and provide a
brief explanation of each.

© Since 1971, when the new.
‘ct was implemented, there
no doubt that the system has
proved its worth in stabilizing
the economy and in providing
substantial ‘support for. those
without work.

‘This doea not mean that,
the Unemployment Insurance
Commission is satisfied that it
has the: best possible system,
quite the contrary, the govern-
ment has been reviewing it

id this review has

eed to strengthen
certain vacate of fextblty
and fairness in the act.

Moreover, it has shown
that some features of this
syatem has undestrable effects
‘on work incentive. ‘Therefore,
the act needs changing.

One change is an incresse
in the employer-employee con-
tribution,

‘The benefit payout in 1974
was 2.3 billion and it ia going to
exceed that by more than 50
per cent due to the amount of
‘unemployment in Canada. The
fund just cannot carry itself as
it was planned.

The system was to be
self-financing up tofour percent
unemployment based on long
term average national unem-
ployment. As you know the
national unemployment rate
has not’ been below’ five per
cent since the birth of the new:
act. Consequently, the general
‘taxpayer has had to pick up the
slack.

. Therefore, an updating of
the figure used to measure the
self-financing part of the sys-
tem is now needed. This will
mean a more equitable split
between the taxpayer and the
employer and employees, all of
whom finance this program.
The maximum period of
jualification for those who
gait thelf:joba' without just

efuse to accept:

dismissed for misconduct, will
be increased to six weeks.

‘This meaaure will create a
greater incentive to remain at
work and make genuine efforts
to find work,

The payment of premiums
and the receipt of benefits will
cease at age 65.

‘There is already many
government financed programs

is’ such as, old age security,

Guaranteed Income Supple-
ment, CPP, that are available
to people of that age, Those
people 65 years and over, who
wish to work may do 20 without.
reducing their entitlement to
CPP.
‘Taking these factors into
account, it is no longer appro-
priate that older citizens who
choose to continue to work
should be required to pay
premiums for benefits that sre
available to‘them under other

rograms,

‘The provision for the three
week payment for will remain,

‘The removal of the 75 per.
cent dependency rate for ex-
tended benefits. There will be
only one benefit rate, 65.2/3 per
cent, A trippling of the family
allowance and many tax reduc-
tions means that a special rate
for low income pecple with
dependents is no longer neces-
sary under the Unemployment
Insurance Act,

The act will be amended to
recognize the special circum:
stances of workers now unable
to ‘qualify for benefits for
reasons beyond thelr control.—
‘Those suffering temporary dls-
ability or on 2 special training
course.

For. these workers the
period during which a claim can
be established and benefits
tecelved will be extended.

The payment of the sick-
ness benefits will be made more
flexible by allowing eligible
‘claimants to receive such bene-
fits at any time during the first
25 weeks on claim rather than
the first 15 weeks are now
provided (the maximum dura
tion for these benefits remains
at 15. weeks). .
