Entitlements constitute a binding obligation on the part of the Federal Government, and eligible recipients have legal recourse if the obligation is not fulfilled. Social Security and veterans' compensation and pensions are examples of entitlement programs.
  • following: when used by way of reference to any section of these laws, shall mean the section next preceding or following that in which such reference is made, unless some other is expressly designated. See New Hampshire Revised Statutes 21:13

(a) The annual earnings in the base period with the name of each employer reporting wages paid to the claimant, and the amount of such wages;
(b) The maximum benefits then available; and
(c) The maximum weekly benefit amount and the maximum duration of such weekly benefits.
II. A determination shall be made by a certifying officer on any claim for benefits, though not an initial claim, if, in his judgment, there appears to be an issue relative to the entitlement of the claimant to benefits. The determination shall be in the manner provided in paragraph I, and the interested parties shall be notified in the same manner.
