Public notes ILA SSA official urges clearer unemployment laws
James H. McGinnis of the Social Security Administration told a Alabama unemployment conference that public misunderstanding of unemployment laws causes their unpopularity.

He said sickness benefits are being considered and urged workers to treat claimants with respect and help them find jobs or subsidies.
