EXPLANATORY NOTE.

Payment in respect of dependent children of an applicant for unemployment assistance is at present restricted to two children and the prescribed form of application provides for two children only. This restriction on payment in respect of children is being removed as from the 1st August, 1960, by the Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1960 , and the purpose of this Order is to amend, as from that date, the form of application at present in use so as to make provision for all dependent children of an applicant.
