Unemployment compensation law — Eligibility — Rules and regulations — Power of department to prescribe — Procedure — Evidence — Filing of waiting week claims — Act of December 5, 1936, P.L. of 1937, p. 2897.
1. Under section 401 of the Unemployment Compensation Act of December 5, 1936, P.L. of 1937, p. 2897, claimant must comply with all the eligibility and procedural requirements to entitle him to compensation.
2. Under section 401 of the Act of 1936, the Department of Labor and Industry has power to establish such procedural rules and regulations as it may deem necessary to bring about the best administration of the act.
3. The filing of waiting week claims is the best and only evidence of the three required waiting weeks of unemployment.
4. In this case, the board held that a statement of the employer offered on behalf of claimant that the claimant was also unemployed on certain additional days beyond the week for which claimant signed, could not be accepted as proof of unemployment on such dates.

The appeal is dismissed.
