Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
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?
Mr. STATMAN. Right. Now, the last two claims, if you will notice----
Mr. JENNER. Those are on lines what?
Mr. STATMAN. Lines 13 and 14, so he filed through line 12.
Mr. JENNER. Through line 12 rather than through line 11?
Mr. STATMAN. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And line 12, the date is September 24, 1963?
