Section 1107. Personnel training
(a) Creation of program
In order to assist in increasing the effectiveness and efficiency
of administration of the unemployment compensation program by
increasing the number of adequately trained personnel, the
Secretary of Labor shall -
(1) provide directly, through State agencies, or through
contracts with institutions of higher education or other
qualified agencies, organizations, or institutions, programs and
courses designed to train individuals to prepare them, or improve
their qualifications, for service in the administration of the
unemployment compensation program, including claims
determinations and adjudication, with such stipends and
allowances as may be permitted under regulations of the
Secretary;
(2) develop training materials for and provide technical
assistance to the State agencies in the operation of their
training programs;
(3) under such regulations as he may prescribe, award
fellowships and traineeships to persons in the Federal-State
employment security agencies, in order to prepare them or improve
their qualifications for service in the administration of the
unemployment compensation program.
(b) Repayment of costs
The Secretary may, to the extent that he finds such action to be
necessary, prescribe requirements to assure that any person
receiving a fellowship, traineeship, stipend or allowance shall
repay the costs thereof to the extent that such person fails to
serve in the Federal-State employment security program for the
period prescribed by the Secretary. The Secretary may relieve any
individual of his obligation to so repay, in whole or in part,
whenever and to the extent that such repayment would, in his
judgment, be inequitable or would be contrary to the purposes of
any of the programs established by this section.
(c) Detail of Federal and State employees
The Secretary, with the concurrence of the State, may detail
Federal employees to State unemployment compensation administration
and the Secretary may concur in the detailing of State employees to
the United States Department of Labor for temporary periods for
training or for purposes of unemployment compensation
administration, and the provisions of section 869b (!1) of title 20
or any more general program of interchange enacted by a law
amending, supplementing, or replacing section 869b (!1) of title 20
shall apply to any such assignment.
(d) Authorization of appropriations
There are hereby authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1971, and for each fiscal year thereafter such
sums, not to exceed $5,000,000, as may be necessary to carry out
the purposes of this section.
