From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 12, 1975:

Some Kansas teachers were to begin getting unemployment benefit checks this week, according to A. R. Lardie, assistant to the chief of benefits for the Kansas Employment Security Division at Topeka. “I don’t believe we’ve paid any of them yet, but some of them will be eligible for payment this week,” Lardie said. Claims from teachers, who this year were eligible to apply for benefits for the first time, had begun coming in to the Topeka office at the end of the school year, but the processing of the claims took several weeks. A federal law passed in December had allowed teachers to apply for the benefits, even though their employers did not pay unemployment taxes.
