Mr. DAVIS. Well, the typing is "a," but it looks like the writing is
French.
Mr. STATMAN. I was just talking about the typing. I'm just discussing
the typing with you now.
Mr. JENNER. Okay, it is 757 France Street in typing. Following that
is French Street, stricken out, that is in longhand, and above the
strike-out is 2515 West Fifth, in longhand, and below that is "Irving,
Texas."
Mr. STATMAN. The reason I am making a differentiation between that, is
that the typing of it was done in New Orleans because that is where
this document was originally issued.
Mr. JENNER. Why was it originally issued in New Orleans?
Mr. STATMAN. Because he was in New Orleans filing an interstate claim
against Texas.
Mr. JENNER. The interstate claim being a claim of an applicant who has
been residing in a State other than Texas and he is making a claim
against the State of Texas.
Mr. STATMAN. Well, it is a claim where a person has earned his wages
in one State and is filing in another State against the State in which
he has earned his wage credits. So, he has earned his wage credits in
Texas. He was filing in New Orleans against the State of Texas. That's
where this original document was made.
Mr. JENNER. Does it appear from this document as to when that claim was
filed in New Orleans?
Mr. STATMAN. I am just trying to figure out something here--the initial
claim in New Orleans was filed on 4-29-63.
Mr. JENNER. That's the 29th day of May, 1963, when he filed the claim
in New Orleans?
Mr. STATMAN. Then, in Texas on 5-8-63 it was determined that he was
entitled to $33.00 a week.
Mr. JENNER. On 5-8-63 or 6-8-63--he filed a claim May 29.
Mr. STATMAN. No; 4-29-63.
Mr. JENNER. Oh; 4-29-63--the date of filing the claim was April 29,
1963, and action was taken on that claim by the Texas Employment
Commission on----
Mr. STATMAN. They made a monetary determination on it on 5-8-63.
Mr. JENNER. On what date?
Mr. STATMAN. On May 8, 1963. In other words, what they do is check his
wage credits, and then ascertain how much weekly amount he is entitled
to; that is, the weekly benefit amount, and how much total amounts he
is entitled to.
Mr. JENNER. And what was the total?
Mr. STATMAN. The weekly benefit amount was $33 a week, a total of $369;
in other words, he could draw for about 11 weeks. His BYE that's the
Benefit Year Ends on 5-28-64. All that means is that the claim is in
force to this date.
Mr. JENNER. He would receive that amount of money per week until that
date?
Mr. STATMAN. No; until he received a total of $369, but he had that
whole year to draw that money. Let's say he went to work for 6 months
and let's say he drew 10 checks--that would be $330, and then he went
to work for 6 months; well, between the 6 months and this 4-28-64, he
would still be entitled to draw, if he were unemployed, $69 more.
Now, for some reason or other, he was filing in New Orleans--on these
dates, and that is indicated by the I-B-2, that means he is filing an
interstate correspondence. This information is sent to Texas and Texas
posts it on its card. Do you want all these dates that he filed?
Mr. JENNER. Well, they are on the record.
Mr. STATMAN. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. But what I do want to know is--he filed claims when in New
Orleans on the dates listed.
Mr. STATMAN. Up until this point.
Mr. JENNER. He filed those up to and including line 11, is that correct?
Mr. STATMAN. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. So, that would mean he filed claims on 11 separate
occasions?
Mr. STATMAN. Yes; in New Orleans. That is indicated by the I-B-1 and
I-B-2 symbols, indicating that that is an interstate claim. In other
words, he is residing in one State and filing against another.
Mr. JENNER. Excuse me, for the record, those 11 claims--the first is on
May 7, 1963, and the 11th is on September 17, 1963, am I correct?
