butions from employers covered under the Unemployment Compen-
sation Law and, secondly, after January 3, 1938, shall make payment
of benefits to eligible individuals, that is, those who have accumulated
certain wage credits and become unemployed through no fault of
their own.

The Employment Service, affiliated with the United States Employ-
ment Service, Department of Labor, shall establish and maintain
free public employment offices for the purpose of finding work for
unemployed individuals and shall receive claims for unemployment
compensation benefits, forwarding such claims to the Unemployment
Compensation Division.

The expense of administering the Unemployment Compensation
Division is not a burden upon the employers contributing to the
unemployment compensation fund, or upon the taxpayers of the State,
as the funds for administering expenses are supplied by the (Federal)
Social Security Board. The expense of administering the Maryland
State Employment Service is borne in a large measure by the Social
Security Board and in part by the United States Department of
Labor, with an appropriation by the State of Maryland.
