Excerpt from Ninth Annual Report of the Unemployment Compensation Commission of Montana, 1945 Seven months ago this country had just ended the war with Germany and was shortly to end the war with Japan. This Com mission had seen times during the war years in which the lowest weekly unemployment benefits paid totaled around $370; in 1945 the lowest weekly benefits for unemployment compensation paid totaled about $880, revealing that virtually no unemployment existed, that all those who were employable were gainfully em ployed. On January 1, 1946, the situation had changed considerably because of the ending of the wars, the return of about discharged veterans in a comparatively short time, and the return of war workers from war plants mainly on the coast.

Between 2002 and 2004, the number of veterans receiving Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers and the cost of this program to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) increased by about 75 percent. The UCX program is the military counterpart to the civilian Unemployment Insurance (UI) program, which provides income assistance to the unemployed as they search for work. Honorably discharged active-component personnel and reserve-component personnel completing a period of active-duty service of 90 or more days are eligible to receive UCX benefits provided that they meet other federal and state-specific requirements of the UI system. The sharp and sustained increase in the UCX caseload since 2002 has contributed to concerns that veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are having difficulty transitioning to the civilian labor market. The research reported in this document examines the reasons why the UCX caseload has risen and considers the implications of those findings for the UCX program.
