U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 502. Payments to States; computation of amounts
(a) Certification of amounts
The Secretary of Labor shall from time to time certify to the
Secretary of the Treasury for payment to each State which has an
unemployment compensation law approved by the Secretary of Labor
under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act, such amounts as the
Secretary of Labor determines to be necessary for the proper and
efficient administration of such law during the fiscal year for
which such payment is to be made, including 100 percent of so much
of the reasonable expenditures of the State as are attributable to
the costs of the implementation and operation of the immigration
status verification system described in section 1320b-7(d) of this
title. The Secretary of Labor's determination shall be based on (1)
the population of the State; (2) an estimate of the number of
persons covered by the State law and of the cost of proper and
efficient administration of such law; and (3) such other factors as
the Secretary of Labor finds relevant. The Secretary of Labor shall
not certify for payment under this section in any fiscal year a
total amount in excess of the amount appropriated therefor for such
fiscal year.
(b) Payment of amounts
Out of the sums appropriated therefor, the Secretary of the
Treasury shall, upon receiving a certification under subsection (a)
of this section, pay, through the Fiscal Service of the Department
of the Treasury and prior to audit or settlement by the General
Accounting Office, to the State agency charged with the
administration of such law the amount so certified.
(c) Mailing costs
No portion of the cost of mailing a statement under section
6050B(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (relating to
unemployment compensation) shall be treated as not being a cost for
the proper and efficient administration of the State unemployment
compensation law by reason of including with such statement
information about the earned income credit provided by section 32
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The preceding sentence shall
not apply if the inclusion of such information increases the
postage required to mail such statement.
