TITLE 42—THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
§ 1101
1 So in original. Probably should be followed by ‘‘for’’.
(A) such amounts (not in excess of the appli-
cable limit provided by paragraph (3) and, with
respect to clause (ii), not in excess of the limit
provided by paragraph (4)) as the Congress
may deem appropriate for the purpose of—
(i) assisting the States in the administra-
tion of their unemployment compensation
laws as provided in subchapter III (including
administration
pursuant
to
agreements
under any Federal unemployment compensa-
tion law),
(ii) the establishment and maintenance of
systems of public employment offices in ac-
cordance with the Act of June 6, 1933, as
amended (29 U.S.C., secs. 49–49n), and
(iii) carrying into effect section 4103 of
title 38;
(B) such amounts (not in excess of the limit
provided by paragraph (4) with respect to
clause (iii)) as the Congress may deem appro-
priate for the necessary expenses of the De-
partment of Labor for the performance of its
functions under—
(i) this subchapter and subchapters III and
XII of this chapter,
(ii) the Federal Unemployment Tax Act [26
U.S.C. 3301 et seq.],
(iii) the provisions of the Act of June 6,
1933, as amended [29 U.S.C. 49 et seq.],
(iv) chapter 41 (except section 4103) of title
38, and
(v) any Federal unemployment compensa-
tion law.
The term ‘‘necessary expenses’’ as used in this
subparagraph (B) shall include the expense of re-
imbursing a State for salaries and other ex-
penses of employees of such State temporarily
assigned or detailed to duty with the Depart-
ment of Labor and of paying such employees for
travel expenses, transportation of household
goods, and per diem in lieu of subsistence while
away from their regular duty stations in the
State, at rates authorized by law for civilian
employees of the Federal Government.
(2) The Secretary of the Treasury is directed
to pay from the employment security adminis-
tration account into the Treasury as miscella-
neous receipts the amount estimated by him
which will be expended during a three-month pe-
riod by the Treasury Department for the per-
formance of its functions under—
(A) this subchapter and subchapters III and
XII of this chapter, including the expenses of
banks for servicing unemployment benefit
payment and clearing accounts which are off-
set by the maintenance of balances of Treas-
ury funds with such banks,
(B) the Federal Unemployment Tax Act [26
U.S.C. 3301 et seq.], and
(C) any Federal unemployment compensa-
tion law with respect to which responsibility
for administration is vested in the Secretary
of Labor.
If it subsequently appears that the estimates
under this paragraph in any particular period
were too high or too low, appropriate adjust-
ments shall be made by the Secretary of the
Treasury in future payments.
(3)(A) For purposes of paragraph (1)(A), the
limitation on the amount authorized to be made
available for any fiscal year after June 30, 1970,
is, except as provided in subparagraph (B) and in
the second sentence of subsection (f)(3)(A), an
amount equal to 95 percent of the amount esti-
mated and set forth in the budget of the United
States Government for such fiscal year as the
amount by which the net receipts during such
year under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act
[26 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.] will exceed the amount
transferred under section 1105(b) of this title
during such year to the extended unemployment
compensation account.
(B) The limitation established by subpara-
graph (A) is increased by any unexpended
amount retained in the employment security ad-
ministration account in accordance with sub-
section (f)(2)(B).
(C) Each estimate of net receipts under this
paragraph shall be based upon a tax rate of 0.6
percent.
(4) For purposes of paragraphs (1)(A)(ii) and
(1)(B)(iii) the amount authorized to be made
available out of the employment security ad-
ministration account for any fiscal year after
June 30, 1972, shall reflect the proportion of the
total cost of administering the system of public
employment offices in accordance with the Act
of June 6, 1933, as amended [29 U.S.C. 49 et seq.],
and of the necessary expenses of the Department
of Labor for the performance of its functions
under the provisions of such Act, as the Presi-
dent determines is an appropriate charge to the
employment security administration account,
and reflects in his annual budget for such year.
The President’s determination, after consulta-
tion with the Secretary, shall take into account
such factors as the relationship between em-
ployment subject to State laws and the total
labor force in the United States, the number of
claimants and the number of job applicants, and
such other factors as he finds relevant.
(5)(A) There are authorized to be appropriated
out of the employment security administration
account to carry out program integrity activi-
ties, in addition to any amounts available under
paragraph (1)(A)(i)—
(i) $89,000,000 for fiscal year 1998;
(ii) $91,000,000 for fiscal year 1999;
(iii) $93,000,000 1 fiscal year 2000;
(iv) $96,000,000 for fiscal year 2001; and
(v) $98,000,000 for fiscal year 2002.
(B) In any fiscal year in which a State receives
funds appropriated pursuant to this paragraph,
the State shall expend a proportion of the funds
appropriated pursuant to paragraph (1)(A)(i) to
carry out program integrity activities that is
not less than the proportion of the funds appro-
priated under such paragraph that was expended
by the State to carry out program integrity ac-
tivities in fiscal year 1997.
(C) For purposes of this paragraph, the term
‘‘program integrity activities’’ means initial
claims review activities, eligibility review ac-
tivities, benefit payments control activities, and
employer liability auditing activities.

TITLE 42—THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
§ 1101
(d) Additional tax attributable to reduced cred-
its; transfer of funds
(1) The Secretary of the Treasury is directed
to transfer from the employment security ad-
ministration account—
(A) To the Federal unemployment account,
an amount equal to the amount by which—
(i) 100 per centum of the additional tax re-
ceived under the Federal Unemployment Tax
Act [26 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.] with respect to
any State by reason of the reduced credits
provisions of section 3302(c)(3) of such Act
[26 U.S.C. 3302(c)(3)] and covered into the
Treasury for the repayment of advances
made to the State under section 1321 of this
title, exceeds
(ii) the amount transferred to the account
of such State pursuant to subparagraph (B)
of this paragraph.
Any amount transferred pursuant to this sub-
paragraph shall be credited against, and shall
operate to reduce, that balance of advances,
made under section 1321 of this title to the
State, with respect to which employers paid
such additional tax.
(B) To the account (in the Unemployment
Trust Fund) of the State with respect to which
employers
paid
such
additional
tax,
an
amount equal to the amount by which such
additional tax received and covered into the
Treasury exceeds that balance of advances,
made under section 1321 of this title to the
State, with respect to which employers paid
such additional tax.
(2) Transfers under this subsection shall be as
of the beginning of the month succeeding the
month in which the moneys were credited to the
employment security administration account
pursuant to subsection (b)(2).
(e) Revolving fund; appropriations; advances to
Account; repayment; interest
(1) There is hereby established in the Treasury
a revolving fund which shall be available to
make the advances authorized by this sub-
section. There are hereby authorized to be ap-
propriated, without fiscal year limitation, to
such revolving fund such amounts as may be
necessary for the purposes of this section.
(2) The Secretary of the Treasury is directed
to advance from time to time from the revolving
fund to the employment security administration
account such amounts as may be necessary for
the purposes of this section. If the net balance
in the employment security administration ac-
count as of the beginning of any fiscal year
equals 40 percent of the amount of the total ap-
propriation by the Congress out of the employ-
ment security administration account for the
preceding fiscal year, no advance may be made
under this subsection during such fiscal year.
(3) Advances to the employment security ad-
ministration account made under this sub-
section shall bear interest until repaid at a rate
equal to the average rate of interest (computed
as of the end of the calendar month next pre-
ceding the date of such advance) borne by all in-
terest-bearing obligations of the United States
then forming a part of the public debt; except
that where such average rate is not a multiple of
one-eighth of 1 per centum, the rate of interest
shall be the multiple of one-eighth of 1 per cen-
tum next lower than such average rate.
(4) Advances to the employment security ad-
ministration account made under this sub-
section, plus interest accrued thereon, shall be
repaid by the transfer from time to time, from
the employment security administration ac-
count to the revolving fund, of such amounts as
the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation
with the Secretary of Labor, determines to be
available in the employment security adminis-
tration
account
for
such
repayment.
Any
amount transferred as a repayment under this
paragraph shall be credited against, and shall
operate to reduce, any balance of advances (plus
accrued interest) repayable under this sub-
section.
(f) Determination of excess in Account; limita-
tion on amount to be retained; use of balance
in Account during certain fiscal years; net
balance
(1) The Secretary of the Treasury shall deter-
mine as of the close of each fiscal year (begin-
ning with the fiscal year ending June 30, 1961)
the excess in the employment security adminis-
tration account.
(2) The excess in the employment security ad-
ministration account as of the close of any fis-
cal year is the amount by which the net balance
in such account as of such time (after the appli-
cation of section 1102(b) of this title and para-
graph (3)(C) of this subsection) exceeds the net
balance in the employment security administra-
tion account as of the beginning of that fiscal
year (including the fiscal year for which the ex-
cess is being computed) for which the net bal-
ance was higher than as of the beginning of any
other such fiscal year.
(3)(A) The excess determined as provided in
paragraph (2) as of the close of any fiscal year
after June 30, 1972, shall be retained (as of the
beginning of the succeeding fiscal year) in the
employment security administration account
until the amount in such account is equal to 40
percent of the amount of the total appropriation
by the Congress out of the employment security
administration account for the fiscal year for
which the excess is determined. Three-eighths of
the amount in the employment security admin-
istration account as of the beginning of any fis-
cal year after June 30, 1972, or $150 million,
whichever is the lesser, is authorized to be made
available for such fiscal year pursuant to sub-
section (c)(1) for additional costs of administra-
tion due to an increase in the rate of insured un-
employment for a calendar quarter of at least 15
percent over the rate of insured unemployment
for the corresponding calendar quarter in the
immediately preceding year.
(B) If the entire amount of the excess deter-
mined as provided in paragraph (2) as of the
close of any fiscal year after June 30, 1972, is not
retained in the employment security adminis-
tration account, there shall be transferred (as of
the beginning of the succeeding fiscal year) to
the extended unemployment compensation ac-
count the balance of such excess or so much
thereof as is required to increase the amount in
the extended unemployment compensation ac-

count to the limit provided in section 1105(b)(2)
of this title.
(C) If as of the close of any fiscal year after
June 30, 1972, the amount in the extended unem-
ployment compensation account exceeds the
limit provided in section 1105(b)(2) of this title,
such excess shall be transferred to the employ-
ment security administration account as of the
close of such fiscal year.
(4) For the purposes of this section, the net
balance in the employment security administra-
tion account as of any time is the amount in
such account as of such time reduced by the sum
of—
(A) the amounts then subject to transfer
pursuant to subsection (d), and
(B) the balance of advances (plus interest ac-
crued thereon) then repayable to the revolving
fund established by subsection (e).
The net balance in the employment security ad-
ministration account as of the beginning of any

tion of the excess in such account as of the close
of the preceding fiscal year.
