MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
Walter P. Sharpe, Director of
the Alaska Unemployment Com
pensation Commission announc
ed today that under recent J
amendments to the Federal So
cial Security Act employers who
had not paid their 1937 and 1938
Territorial unemployment con
tributions have until October 9
to pay such amounts and still re
ceive the full ninety percent cred
it against the federal excise tax
imposed by Title 9 of the Social
Security Act for these years.
Employers who have paid both
the Territorial and federal con- j
tributions in full for the years.
1937 and 1938 may receive a re
fund of their federal excise tax
paid under Title 9 of the Social
j Security Act equal to the amount
! of Territorial contributions.
Sharpe emphasized that these
refunds may be obtained only
through the Department of Inter
nal Revenue of the Federal Gov
ernment and that no refunds j
could be made of contributions
paid into the Alaska Unemploy-:
ment Insurance Fund.
“Those employers who have
not paid their Territorial unem
ployment contributions for one
or more of the years 1937 and j
1938 but who have paid the fed!
eral tax may. by now paying the
Territorial contributions, obtain
a refund from the Federal gov- j
ernment for the amount of such:
payments,” Sharpe explained.
