Virginia school workers gain from federal jobless loophole
The Virginia Employment Commission notes a federal loophole allows school bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and teachers without contracts to claim emergency unemployment benefits during summer. Claims reach 265 for June 4 week, 2,010 for June 18 week, and 3,000 last week, with eight of ten new claims from school employees. The program is federally funded and set to end for new applicants after 1975, though current recipients can continue until March 1977. Concerns rise among residents who see the loophole as unjust.
