C. Arthur J. Altmeyer, Chairman Ellen S. Woodward The Unemployment Compensation Interpretation Service, Benefit Series, is published monthly, supplemented by annual cumulative indexes and digests, under authority of Public Resolution No. 57, approved May 11, 1922 (42 Stat. 541), as amended by section 307, Public Act 212, Seventy-second Congress, approved June 30, 1932. Publication is approved by the Director, Bureau of the Budget, as required by Rule 42 of the Joint Committee on Printing. The Unemployment Compensation Interpretation Service, Benefit Series, is prepared in the Bureau of Employment Security, of which Ewan Clague is Director, and is under the editorial supervision of Stuart Morrison. It contains benefit decisions made by courts and by unemployment compensation appeal tribunals, commissions, and boards of review, and opinions of States' attorneys general. The Benefit Series also includes selected benefit decisions made by State agency appeal tribunals under title V of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944. During the war, opinions and decisions concerning coverage are not being published. Decisions and opinions which set forth new principles and policies in a State are selected for publication. Subsequent decisions from appeal tribunals in the same State on the same issue are omitted unless they reverse or modify a previously published decision. Decisions of a court or higher administrative tribunal may be published whether or not they either reverse or affirm previously published decisions or policies of lower tribunals. The Benefit Series thus includes: (1) decisions and opinions dealing with a fact situation previously unreported for the State; (2) decisions and opinions dealing in a new way with a fact situation previously reported for the State. Publication of any decision or opinion does not indicate approval or endorsement by the Bureau of Employment Security or the Social Security Board. Correspondence concerning published material should be directed to the Unemployment Compensation Interpretation Service, Bureau of Employment Security, Social Security Board, Washington 25, D. C. A limited number of copies will be distributed without charge to agencies directly concerned with the administration of the Social Security Act. A complete set of the Benefit Series contains: Monthly Issues Volume 1 (1938) contains only 6 monthly issues. Beginning with volume 2 (1939), and continuing through the most recent, Vol. 8, No. 9 (September 1945), each volume contains 12 monthly issues which correspond to the calendar months.

Coverage decisions were included in the Benefit Series from 1941 until August 1944. Since then they have been omitted due to lack of space. Before 1941, coverage topics were published in volumes 2, 3, and 4 of the State Series (discontinued in 1940). Beginning with Vol. 8, No. 4 (April 1945), the Benefit Series also includes benefit decisions made by State appeal tribunals under title V of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944.
