CHAPTER 23 - FEDERAL UNEMPLOYMENT TAX ACT

-HEAD-

Sec. 3302. Credits against tax

-STATUTE-

(a) Contributions to State unemployment funds

(1) The taxpayer may, to the extent provided in this subsection

and subsection (c), credit against the tax imposed by section 3301

the amount of contributions paid by him into an unemployment fund

maintained during the taxable year under the unemployment

compensation law of a State which is certified as provided in

section 3304 for the 12-month period ending on October 31 of such

year.

(2) The credit shall be permitted against the tax for the taxable

year only for the amount of contributions paid with respect to such

taxable year.

(3) The credit against the tax for any taxable year shall be

permitted only for contributions paid on or before the last day

upon which the taxpayer is required under section 6071 to file a

return for such year; except that credit shall be permitted for

contributions paid after such last day, but such credit shall not

exceed 90 percent of the amount which would have been allowable as

credit on account of such contributions had they been paid on or

before such last day.

(4) Upon the payment of contributions into the unemployment fund

of a State which are required under the unemployment compensation

law of that State with respect to remuneration on the basis of

which, prior to such payment into the proper fund, the taxpayer

erroneously paid an amount as contributions under another

unemployment compensation law, the payment into the proper fund

shall, for purposes of credit against the tax, be deemed to have

been made at the time of the erroneous payment. If, by reason of

such other law, the taxpayer was entitled to cease paying

contributions with respect to services subject to such other law,

the payment into the proper fund shall, for purposes of credit

against the tax, be deemed to have been made on the date the return

for the taxable year was filed under section 6071.

(5) In the case of wages paid by the trustee of an estate under

title 11 of the United States Code, if the failure to pay

contributions on time was without fault by the trustee, paragraph

(3) shall be applied by substituting "100 percent" for "90

percent".

(b) Additional credit

In addition to the credit allowed under subsection (a), a

taxpayer may credit against the tax imposed by section 3301 for any

taxable year an amount, with respect to the unemployment

compensation law of each State certified as provided in section

3303 for the 12-month period ending on October 31 of such year, or

with respect to any provisions thereof so certified, equal to the

amount, if any, by which the contributions required to be paid by

him with respect to the taxable year were less than the

contributions such taxpayer would have been required to pay if

throughout the taxable year he had been subject under such State

law to the highest rate applied thereunder in such 12-month period

to any person having individuals in his employ, or to a rate of 5.4

percent, whichever rate is lower.

(1) The total credits allowed to a taxpayer under this section

shall not exceed 90 percent of the tax against which such credits

are allowable.

(2) If an advance or advances have been made to the unemployment

account of a State under title XII of the Social Security Act, then

the total credits (after applying subsections (a) and (b) and

paragraph (1) of this subsection) otherwise allowable under this

section for the taxable year in the case of a taxpayer subject to

the unemployment compensation law of such State shall be reduced -

(A)(i) in the case of a taxable year beginning with the second

consecutive January 1 as of the beginning of which there is a

balance of such advances, by 5 percent of the tax imposed by

section 3301 with respect to the wages paid by such taxpayer

during such taxable year which are attributable to such State;

and

(ii) in the case of any succeeding taxable year beginning with

a consecutive January 1 as of the beginning of which there is a

balance of such advances, by an additional 5 percent, for each

such succeeding taxable year, of the tax imposed by section 3301

with respect to the wages paid by such taxpayer during such

taxable year which are attributable to such State;

(B) in the case of a taxable year beginning with the third or

fourth consecutive January 1 as of the beginning of which there

is a balance of such advances, by the amount determined by

multiplying the wages paid by such taxpayer during such taxable

year which are attributable to such State by the percentage (if

any), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the

State's average annual wage in covered employment for the

calendar year in which the determination is made and the

denominator of which is the wage base under this chapter, by

which -

(i) 2.7 percent multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of

which is the wage base under this chapter and the denominator

of which is the estimated United States average annual wage in

covered employment for the calendar year in which the

determination is to be made, exceeds

(ii) the average employer contribution rate for such State

for the calendar year preceding such taxable year; and

any succeeding consecutive January 1 as of the beginning of which

there is a balance of such advances, by the amount determined by

multiplying the wages paid by such taxpayer during such taxable

year which are attributable to such State by the percentage (if

any) by which -

(i) the 5-year benefit cost rate applicable to such State for

such taxable year or (if higher) 2.7 percent, exceeds

(ii) the average employer contribution rate for such State

for the calendar year preceding such taxable year.

The provisions of the preceding sentence shall not be applicable

with respect to the taxable year beginning January 1, 1975, or any

succeeding taxable year which begins before January 1, 1980; and,

for purposes of such sentence, January 1, 1980, shall be deemed to

be the first January 1 occurring after January 1, 1974, and

consecutive taxable years in the period commencing January 1, 1980,

shall be determined as if the taxable year which begins on January

1, 1980, were the taxable year immediately succeeding the taxable

year which began on January 1, 1974. Subparagraph (C) shall not

apply with respect to any taxable year to which it would otherwise

apply (but subparagraph (B) shall apply to such taxable year) if

the Secretary of Labor determines (on or before November 10 of such

taxable year) that the State meets the requirements of subsection

(f)(2)(B) for such taxable year.

(3) If the Secretary of Labor determines that a State, or State

agency, has not -

(A) entered into the agreement described in section 239 of the

Trade Act of 1974, with the Secretary of Labor before July 15,

1975, or

(B) fulfilled its commitments under an agreement with the

Secretary of Labor as described in section 239 of the Trade Act

of 1974,

then, in the case of a taxpayer subject to the unemployment

compensation law of such State, the total credits (after applying

subsections (a) and (b) and paragraphs (1) and (2) of this section)

otherwise allowable under this section for a year during which such

State or agency does not enter into or fulfill such an agreement

shall be reduced by 7 1/2 percent of the tax imposed with respect

to wages paid by such taxpayer during such year which are

attributable to such State.

(d) Definitions and special rules relating to subsection (c)

(1) Rate of tax deemed to be 6 percent

In applying subsection (c), the tax imposed by section 3301

shall be computed at the rate of 6 percent in lieu of the rate

provided by such section.

(2) Wages attributable to a particular State

For purposes of subsection (c), wages shall be attributable to

a particular State if they are subject to the unemployment

compensation law of the State, or (if not subject to the

unemployment compensation law of any State) if they are

determined (under rules or regulations prescribed by the

Secretary) to be attributable to such State.

(3) Additional taxes inapplicable where advances are repaid

before November 10 of taxable year

Paragraph (2) of subsection (c) shall not apply with respect to

any State for the taxable year if (as of the beginning of

November 10 of such year) there is no balance of advances

referred to in such paragraph.

(4) Average employer contribution rate

For purposes of subparagraphs (B) and (C) of subsection (c)(2),

the average employer contribution rate for any State for any

calendar year is that percentage obtained by dividing -

(A) the total of the contributions paid into the State

unemployment fund with respect to such calendar year, by

(B)(i) for purposes of subparagraph (B) of subsection (c)(2),

the total of the wages (as determined without any limitation on

amount) attributable to such State subject to contributions

under this chapter with respect to such calendar year, and

(ii) for purposes of subparagraph (C) of subsection (c)(2),

the total of the remuneration subject to contributions under

the State unemployment compensation law with respect to such

calendar year.

For purposes of subparagraph (C) of subsection (c)(2), if the

average employer contribution rate for any State for any calendar

year (determined without regard to this sentence) equals or

exceeds 2.7 percent, such rate shall be determined by increasing

the amount taken into account under subparagraph (A) of the

preceding sentence by the aggregate amount of employee payments

(if any) into the unemployment fund of such State with respect to

such calendar year which are to be used solely in the payment of

unemployment compensation.

(5) 5-year benefit cost rate

For purposes of subparagraph (C) of subsection (c)(2), the

5-year benefit cost rate applicable to any State for any taxable

year is that percentage obtained by dividing -

(A) one-fifth of the total of the compensation paid under the

State unemployment compensation law during the 5-year period

ending at the close of the second calendar year preceding such

taxable year, by

(B) the total of the remuneration subject to contributions

under the State unemployment compensation law with respect to

the first calendar year preceding such taxable year.

(6) Rounding

If any percentage referred to in either subparagraph (B) or (C)

of subsection (c)(2) is not a multiple of .1 percent, it shall be

rounded to the nearest multiple of .1 percent.

(7) Determination and certification of percentages

The percentage referred to in subsection (c)(2)(B) or (C) for

any taxable year for any State having a balance referred to

therein shall be determined by the Secretary of Labor, and shall

be certified by him to the Secretary of the Treasury before June

1 of such year, on the basis of a report furnished by such State

to the Secretary of Labor before May 1 of such year. Any such

State report shall be made as of the close of March 31 of the

taxable year, and shall be made on such forms, and shall contain

such information, as the Secretary of Labor deems necessary to

the performance of his duties under this section.

(e) Successor employer

Subject to the limits provided by subsection (c), if -

(1) an employer acquires during any calendar year substantially

all the property used in the trade or business of another person,

or used in a separate unit of a trade or business of such other

person, and immediately after the acquisition employs in his

trade or business one or more individuals who immediately prior

to the acquisition were employed in the trade or business of such

other person, and

(2) such other person is not an employer for the calendar year

in which the acquisition takes place,

then, for the calendar year in which the acquisition takes place,

in addition to the credits allowed under subsections (a) and (b),

such employer may credit against the tax imposed by section 3301

for such year an amount equal to the credits which (without regard

to subsection (c)) would have been allowable to such other person

under subsections (a) and (b) and this subsection for such year, if

such other person had been an employer, with respect to

remuneration subject to contributions under the unemployment

compensation law of a State paid by such other person to the

individual or individuals described in paragraph (1).

(f) Limitation on credit reduction

(1) Limitation

In the case of any State which meets the requirements of

paragraph (2) with respect to any taxable year the reduction

under subsection (c)(2) in credits otherwise applicable to

taxpayers subject to the unemployment compensation law of such

State shall not exceed the greater of -

(A) the reduction which was in effect with respect to such

State under subsection (c)(2) for the preceding taxable year,

(B) 0.6 percent of the wages paid by the taxpayer during such

taxable year which are attributable to such State.

(2) Requirements

The requirements of this paragraph are met by any State with

respect to any taxable year if the Secretary of Labor determines

(on or before November 10 of such taxable year) that -

(A) no State action was taken during the 12-month period

ending on September 30 of such taxable year (excluding any

action required under State law as in effect prior to the date

of the enactment of this subsection) which has resulted or will

result in a reduction in such State's unemployment tax effort

(as defined by the Secretary of Labor in regulations),

(B) no State action was taken during the 12-month period

ending on September 30 of such taxable year (excluding any

action required under State law as in effect prior to the date

of the enactment of this subsection) which has resulted or will

result in a net decrease in the solvency of the State

unemployment compensation system (as defined by the Secretary

of Labor in regulations),

equals or exceeds the average benefit cost ratio for calendar

years in the 5-calendar year period ending with the last

calendar year before the taxable year, and

(D) the outstanding balance for such State of advances under

title XII of the Social Security Act on September 30 of such

taxable year was not greater than the outstanding balance for

such State of such advances on September 30 of the third

preceding taxable year (or, for purposes of applying this

subparagraph to taxable year 1983, September 30, 1981).

The requirements of subparagraphs (C) and (D) shall not apply to

taxable years 1981 and 1982.

(3) Credit reductions for subsequent years

If the credit reduction under subsection (c)(2) is limited by

reason of paragraph (1) of this subsection for any taxable year,

for purposes of applying subsection (c)(2) to subsequent taxable

years (including years after 1987), the taxable year for which

the credit reduction was so limited (and January 1 thereof) shall

not be taken into account.

(4) State unemployment tax rate

For purposes of this subsection -

(A) In general

The State unemployment tax rate for any taxable year is the

percentage obtained by dividing -

(i) the total amount of contributions paid into the State

unemployment fund with respect to such taxable year, by

contributions under the State unemployment compensation law

with respect to such taxable year (determined without regard

(i) Taxable year 1983

imposed under this chapter with respect to any State by

reason of subsection (c)(2) shall be treated as contributions

taxable year.

(ii) Taxable year 1984

In the case of taxable year 1984, any additional tax

imposed under this chapter with respect to any State by

reason of subsection (c)(2) shall (to the extent such

excess of 0.6 of wages attributable to such State) be treated

as contributions paid into the State unemployment fund with

respect to such taxable year.

(5) Benefit cost ratio

For purposes of this subsection -

(A) In general

The benefit cost ratio for any calendar year is the

percentage determined by dividing -

State unemployment compensation law during such calendar year

and any interest paid during such calendar year on advances

made to the State under title XII of the Social Security Act,

(ii) the total amount of the remuneration subject to

contributions under the State unemployment compensation law

with respect to such calendar year (determined without regard

to any limitation on the amount of remuneration subject to

contribution under the State law).

(B) Reimbursable benefits not taken into account

Section 110(b) of Pub. L. 94-45 provided that:

"(1) The amendment made by subsection (a) [amending this section]

shall not be applicable in the case of any State unless the

appropriate action with respect to the financing of its

unemployment programs so as substantially to accomplish the purpose

of restoring the fiscal soundness of the State's unemployment

Sec. 3303. Conditions of additional credit allowance

-STATUTE-

(a) State standards

A taxpayer shall be allowed an additional credit under section

3302(b) with respect to any reduced rate of contributions permitted

by a State law, only if the Secretary of Labor finds that under

such law -

(1) no reduced rate of contributions to a pooled fund or to a

partially pooled account is permitted to a person (or group of

persons) having individuals in his (or their) employ except on

the basis of his (or their) experience with respect to

unemployment or other factors bearing a direct relation to

unemployment risk during not less than the 3 consecutive years

immediately preceding the computation date;

(2) no reduced rate of contributions to a guaranteed employment

account is permitted to a person (or a group of persons) having

individuals in his (or their) employ unless -

(A) the guaranty of remuneration was fulfilled in the year

preceding the computation date; and

(B) the balance of such account amounts to not less than 2

1/2 percent of that part of the payroll or payrolls for the 3

years preceding the computation date by which contributions to

such account were measured; and

respect to 3 years preceding the computation date;

(3) no reduced rate of contributions to a reserve account is

permitted to a person (or group of persons) having individuals in

his (or their) employ unless -

(A) compensation has been payable from such account

throughout the year preceding the computation date, and

(B) the balance of such account amounts to not less than five

times the largest amount of compensation paid from such account

within any 1 of the 3 years preceding such date, and

1/2 percent of that part of the payroll or payrolls for the 3

years preceding such date by which contributions to such

account were measured, and

(D) such contributions were payable to such account with

respect to the 3 years preceding the computation date.

For any person (or group of persons) who has (or have) not been

subject to the State law for a period of time sufficient to compute

the reduced rates permitted by paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of this

subsection on a 3-year basis (i) the period of time required may be

reduced to the amount of time the person (or group of persons) has

(or have) had experience under or has (or have) been subject to the

State law, whichever is appropriate, but in no case less than 1

year immediately preceding the computation date, or (ii) a reduced

rate (not less than 1 percent) may be permitted by the State law on

a reasonable basis other than as permitted by paragraph (1), (2),

or (3).

(b) Certification by the Secretary of Labor with respect to

additional credit allowance

(1) On October 31 of each calendar year, the Secretary of Labor

shall certify to the Secretary of the Treasury the law of each

State (certified by the Secretary of Labor as provided in section

3304 for the 12-month period ending on such October 31), with

respect to which he finds that reduced rates of contributions were

allowable with respect to such 12-month period only in accordance

with the provisions of subsection (a).

(2) If the Secretary of Labor finds that under the law of a

single State (certified by the Secretary of Labor as provided in

section 3304) more than one type of fund or account is maintained,

and reduced rates of contributions to more than one type of fund or

account were allowable with respect to any 12-month period ending

on October 31, and one or more of such reduced rates were allowable

under conditions not fulfilling the requirements of subsection (a),

the Secretary of Labor shall, on such October 31, certify to the

Secretary of the Treasury only those provisions of the State law

pursuant to which reduced rates of contributions were allowable

with respect to such 12-month period under conditions fulfilling

the requirements of subsection (a), and shall, in connection

therewith, designate the kind of fund or account, as defined in

subsection (c), established by the provisions so certified. If the

Secretary of Labor finds that a part of any reduced rate of

contributions payable under such law or under such provisions is

required to be paid into one fund or account and a part into

another fund or account, the Secretary of Labor shall make such

certification pursuant to this paragraph as he finds will assure

the allowance of additional credits only with respect to that part

of the reduced rate of contributions which is allowed under

provisions which do fulfill the requirements of subsection (a).

(3) The Secretary of Labor shall, within 30 days after any State

law is submitted to him for such purpose, certify to the State

agency his findings with respect to reduced rates of contributions

to a type of fund or account, as defined in subsection (c), which

are allowable under such State law only in accordance with the

provisions of subsection (a). After making such findings, the

Secretary of Labor shall not withhold his certification to the

Secretary of the Treasury of such State law, or of the provisions

thereof with respect to which such findings were made, for any

12-month period ending on October 31 pursuant to paragraph (1) or

(2) unless, after reasonable notice and opportunity for hearing to

the State agency, the Secretary of Labor finds the State law no

longer contains the provisions specified in subsection (a) or the

State has, with respect to such 12-month period, failed to comply

substantially with any such provision.

As used in this section -

(1) Reserve account

The term "reserve account" means a separate account in an

unemployment fund, maintained with respect to a person (or group

of persons) having individuals in his (or their) employ, from

which account, unless such account is exhausted, is paid all and

only compensation payable on the basis of services performed for

such person (or for one or more of the persons comprising the

group).

(2) Pooled fund

The term "pooled fund" means an unemployment fund or any part

thereof (other than a reserve account or a guaranteed employment

account) into which the total contributions of persons

contributing thereto are payable, in which all contributions are

mingled and undivided, and from which compensation is payable to

all individuals eligible for compensation from such fund.

(3) Partially pooled account

The term "partially pooled account" means a part of an

unemployment fund in which part of the fund all contributions

thereto are mingled and undivided, and from which part of the

fund compensation is payable only to individuals to whom

compensation would be payable from a reserve account or from a

guaranteed employment account but for the exhaustion or

termination of such reserve account or of such guaranteed

employment account. Payments from a reserve account or guaranteed

employment account into a partially pooled account shall not be

construed to be inconsistent with the provisions of paragraph (1)

or (4).

(4) Guaranteed employment account

The term "guaranteed employment account" means a separate

account, in an unemployment fund, maintained with respect to a

person (or group of persons) having individuals in his (or their)

employ who, in accordance with the provisions of the State law or

of a plan thereunder approved by the State agency,

(A) guarantees in advance at least 30 hours of work, for

which remuneration will be paid at not less than stated rates,

for each of 40 weeks (or if more, 1 weekly hour may be deducted

for each added week guaranteed) in a year, to all the

individuals who are in his (or their) employ in, and who

continue to be available for suitable work in, one or more

distinct establishments, except that any such individual's

guaranty may commence after a probationary period (included

within the 11 or less consecutive weeks immediately following

the first week in which the individual renders services), and

(B) gives security or assurance, satisfactory to the State

agency, for the fulfillment of such guaranties, from which

account, unless such account is exhausted or terminated, is

paid all and only compensation, payable on the basis of

services performed for such person (or for one or more of the

persons comprising the group), to any such individual whose

guaranteed remuneration has not been paid (either pursuant to

the guaranty or from the security or assurance provided for the

fulfillment of the guaranty), or whose guaranty is not renewed

and who is otherwise eligible for compensation under the State

law.

(5) Year

The term "year" means any 12 consecutive calendar months.

(6) Balance

The term "balance", with respect to a reserve account or a

guaranteed employment account, means the amount standing to the

credit of the account as of the computation date; except that, if

subsequent to January 1, 1940, any moneys have been paid into or

credited to such account other than payments thereto by persons

having individuals in their employ, such term shall mean the

amount in such account as of the computation date less the total

of such other moneys paid into or credited to such account

subsequent to January 1, 1940.

(7) Computation date

The term "computation date" means the date, occurring at least

once in each calendar year and within 27 weeks prior to the

effective date of new rates of contributions, as of which such

rates are computed.

(8) Reduced rate

The term "reduced rate" means a rate of contributions lower

than the standard rate applicable under the State law, and the

term "standard rate" means the rate on the basis of which

variations therefrom are computed.

(d) Voluntary contributions

A State law may, without being deemed to violate the standards

set forth in subsection (a), permit voluntary contributions to be

used in the computation of reduced rates if such contributions are

paid prior to the expiration of 120 days after the beginning of the

year for which such rates are effective.

(e) Payments by certain nonprofit organizations

A State may, without being deemed to violate the standards set

forth in subsection (a), permit an organization (or a group of

organizations) described in section 501(c)(3) which is exempt from

income tax under section 501(a) to elect (in lieu of paying

contributions) to pay into the State unemployment fund amounts

equal to the amounts of compensation attributable under the State

law to service performed in the employ of such organization (or

group).

(f) Transition

To facilitate the orderly transition to coverage of service to

which section 3309(a)(1)(A) applies, a State law may provide that

an organization (or group of organizations) which elects before

April 1, 1972, to make payments (in lieu of contributions) into the

State unemployment fund as provided in section 3309(a)(2), and

which had paid contributions into such fund under the State law

with respect to such service performed in its employ before January

1, 1969, is not required to make any such payment (in lieu of

contributions) on account of compensation paid after its election

as heretofore described which is attributable under the State law

to service performed in its employ, until the total of such

compensation equals the amount -

(1) by which the contributions paid by such organization (or

group) with respect to a period before the election provided by

section 3309(a)(2), exceed

(2) the unemployment compensation for the same period which was

charged to the experience-rating account of such organization (or

group) or paid under the State law on the basis of wages paid by

it or service performed in its employ, whichever is appropriate.

(g) Transitional rule for Unemployment Compensation Amendments of

1976

To facilitate the orderly transition to coverage of service to

which section 3309(a)(1)(A) applies by reason of the enactment of

the Unemployment Compensation Amendments of 1976, a State law may

provide that an organization (or group of organizations) which

elects, when such election first becomes available under the State

law with respect to such service, to make payments (in lieu of

contributions) into the State unemployment fund as provided in

section 3309(a)(2), and which had paid contributions into such fund

under the State law with respect to such service performed in its

employ before the date of the enactment of this subsection, is not

required to make any such payment (in lieu of contributions) on

account of compensation paid after its election as heretofore

described which is attributable under the State law to such service

performed in its employ, until the total of such compensation

equals the amount -

(1) by which the contributions paid by such organization (or

group) on the basis of wages for such service with respect to a

period before the election provided by section 3309(a)(2), exceed

(2) the unemployment compensation for the same period which was

charged to the experience-rating account of such organization (or

group) or paid under the State law on the basis of such service

performed in its employ or wages paid for such service, whichever

is appropriate.

(b)(1)(A), an individual shall be deemed to have exhausted such

individual's rights to regular compensation under a State law when

"(1) no payments of regular compensation can be made under such

law because such individual has received all regular compensation

available to such individual based on employment or wages during

such individual's base period, or

terminated by reason of the expiration of the benefit year with

respect to which such rights existed.

subsection (b)(1)(B) or any other provision of law, whenever an

extended compensation period is beginning in a State after

February 5, 1994, an individual, who is entitled to extended

part of any such individual, and

"(B) such repayment would be contrary to equity and good

conscience.

"(2) The State agency may recover the amount to be repaid, or any

part thereof, by deductions from any assistance payable under this

part or from any unemployment compensation payable to such

individual under any Federal unemployment compensation law

administered by the State agency or under any other Federal law

benefit year as computed under the provisions of the applicable

State unemployment compensation law, but not exceeding thirty-nine

times the weekly benefit payable to the individual for a week of

total unemployment as determined under subsection (a) of section

205. For purposes of the preceding sentence, employment and wages

which are not covered by the applicable State unemployment

compensation law shall be treated as though they were covered,

except that employment and wages covered by any State or Federal

unemployment compensation law, including the Railroad Unemployment

Insurance Act (45 U.S.C. 351 et seq.), shall be excluded to the

assistance under this part during a benefit year which such

individual has established under any State unemployment

compensation law, the maximum amount of assistance under this part

which such individual shall be entitled to receive during the

special unemployment assistance benefit year established pursuant

to such claim (as determined under subsection (a) without regard to

this subsection) shall be reduced by the amount of any unemployment

compensation received during the benefit year established under the

State unemployment compensation law.

part, the terms and conditions of the applicable State unemployment

compensation law which apply to claims thereunder for regular

total of the remuneration earned by the individual for being so

employed is not less than the product of 4 multiplied by the

individual's average weekly benefit amount (as determined for

purposes of subsection (b)(1)(c) [probably means subsec.

means, with respect to any individual, any work which is within

such individual's capabilities; except that, if the individual

furnishes evidence satisfactory to the State agency that such

such individual shall be made in accordance with the applicable

State law.

not apply.

"(4) No provision of State law which terminates a

disqualification for voluntarily leaving employment, being

discharged for misconduct, or refusing suitable employment shall

apply for purposes of determining eligibility for extended

compensation unless such termination is based upon employment

subsequent to the date of such disqualification.

"(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (2), an

individual shall not be eligible for extended compensation unless,

in the base period with respect to which the individual exhausted

all rights to regular compensation under the State law, the

individual had 20 weeks of full-time insured employment, or the

equivalent in insured wages. For purposes of this paragraph, the

equivalent in insured wages shall be earnings covered by the State

law for compensation purposes which exceed 40 times the

individual's most recent weekly benefit amount or 1 1/2 times the

individual's insured wages in that calendar quarter of the base

period in which the individual's insured wages were the highest (or

one such quarter if his wages were the same for more than one such

quarter). The State shall by law provide which one or more of the

foregoing methods of measuring employment and earnings shall be

used in that State.

"(6) No payment shall be made under this Act [see Short Title of

1970 Amendment note set out under section 3311 of this title] to

who files an application therefor, an extended compensation account

with respect to such individual's benefit year. The amount

established in such account shall be not less than whichever of the

following is the least:

"(A) 50 per centum of the total amount of regular compensation

(including dependents' allowances) payable to him during such

benefit year under such law,

"(B) thirteen times his average weekly benefit amount, or

"(C) thirty-nine times his average weekly benefit amount,

reduced by the regular compensation paid (or deemed paid) to him

during such benefit year under such law;

provides) be reduced by the aggregate amount of additional

compensation paid (or deemed paid) to him under such law for prior

weeks of unemployment in such benefit year which did not begin in

an extended benefit period.

"(2) For purposes of paragraph (1), an individual's weekly

benefit amount for a week is the amount of regular compensation

(including dependents' allowances) under the State law payable to

unemployment period, paragraph (1) shall be applied by substituting

"(i) '80 per centum' for '50 per centum' in subparagraph (A),

"(iii) 'forty-six' for 'thirty-nine' in subparagraph (C).

"(B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the term 'high

Effect] (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), payment of

extended compensation shall not be made to any individual for any

week if -

been payable for such week pursuant to an interstate claim filed

in any State under the interstate benefit payment plan, and

"(B) an extended benefit period is not in effect for such week

in such State.

"(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply with respect to the first 2

weeks for which extended compensation is payable (determined

without regard to this subsection) pursuant to an interstate claim

filed under the interstate benefit payment plan to the individual

from the extended compensation account established for the benefit

year.

"(3) Section 3304(a)(9)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986

shall not apply to any denial of compensation required under this

subsection.

"Sec. 203. [Extended Benefit Period]

case of any State, an extended benefit period -

in the Federal Register.

"(c) [Eligibility Period] For purposes of this title, an

individual's eligibility period under the State law shall consist

of the weeks in his benefit year which begin in an extended benefit

period and, if his benefit year ends within such extended benefit

period, any weeks thereafter which begin in such extended benefit

period.

"(d) [State 'On' and 'Off' Indicators] For purposes of this

section -

"(1) There is a State 'on' indicator for a week if the rate of

insured unemployment under the State law for the period

consisting of such week and the immediately preceding twelve

weeks -

such rates for the corresponding thirteen-week period ending in

each of the preceding two calendar years, and

"(B) equaled or exceeded 5 per centum.

"(2) There is a State 'off' indicator for a week if, for the

period consisting of such week and the immediately preceding

twelve weeks, either subparagraph (A) or subparagraph (B) of

Effective with respect to compensation for weeks of unemployment

beginning after March 30, 1977 (or, if later, the date established

pursuant to State law), the State may by law provide that the

determination of whether there has been a State 'on' or 'off'

indicator beginning or ending any extended benefit period shall be

made under this subsection as if (i) paragraph (1) did not contain

subparagraph (A) thereof, and (ii) the figure '5' contained in

subparagraph (B) thereof were '6'; except that, notwithstanding any

such provision of State law, any week for which there would

otherwise be a State 'on' indicator shall continue to be such a

week and shall not be determined to be a week for which there is a

State 'off' indicator. For purposes of this subsection, the rate of

insured unemployment for any thirteen-week period shall be

determined by reference to the average monthly covered employment

under the State law for the first four of the most recent six

calendar quarters ending before the close of such period.

"(e) [Rate of Insured Unemployment; Covered Employment] (1) For

purposes of subsection (d), the term 'rate of insured unemployment'

means the percentage arrived at by dividing -

"(A) the average weekly number of individuals filing claims for

regular compensation for weeks of unemployment with respect to

the specified period, as determined on the basis of the reports

made by the State agency to the Secretary, by

period.

"(2) Determinations under subsection (d) shall be made by the

State agency in accordance with regulations prescribed by the

Secretary.

"(f) [Alternative Trigger] (1) Effective with respect to

compensation for weeks of unemployment beginning after March 6,

1993, the State may by law provide that for purposes of beginning

or ending any extended benefit period under this section -

"(A) there is a State 'on' indicator for a week if -

"(i) the average rate of total unemployment in such State

(seasonally adjusted) for the period consisting of the most

recent 3 months for which data for all States are published

before the close of such week equals or exceeds 6.5 percent,

and

"(ii) the average rate of total unemployment in such State

(seasonally adjusted) for the 3-month period referred to in

clause (i) equals or exceeds 110 percent of such average rate

for either (or both) of the corresponding 3-month periods

ending in the 2 preceding calendar years; and

"(B) there is a State 'off' indicator for a week if either the

requirements of clause (i) or clause (ii) of subparagraph (A) are

not satisfied.

Notwithstanding the provision of any State law described in this

paragraph, any week for which there would otherwise be a State 'on'

indicator shall continue to be such a week and shall not be

determined to be a week for which there is a State 'off' indicator.

"(2) For purposes of this subsection, determinations of the rate

of total unemployment in any State for any period (and of any

seasonal adjustment) shall be made by the Secretary.

"Sec. 204. [Payments to States]

"(a) [Amount Payable] (1) There shall be paid to each State an

amount equal to one-half of the sum of -

"(A) the sharable extended compensation, and

"(B) the sharable regular compensation,

paid to individuals under the State law.

in respect of compensation (A) for which the State is entitled to

reimbursement under the provisions of any Federal law other than

this Act, (B) paid for the first week in an individual's

eligibility period for which extended compensation or sharable

regular compensation is paid, if the State law of such State

provides for payment (at any time or under any circumstances) of

regular compensation to an individual for his first week of

otherwise compensable unemployment, (C) paid for any week with

respect to which such benefits are not payable by reason of section

233(d) of the Trade Act of 1974 [19 U.S.C. 2293(d)], or (D) paid to

an individual with respect to a week of unemployment to the extent

that such amount exceeds the amount of such compensation which

would be paid to such individual if such State had a benefit

structure which provided that the amount of compensation otherwise

payable to any individual for any week shall be rounded (if not a

full dollar amount) to the nearest lower full dollar amount.

"(3) The amount which, but for this paragraph, would be payable

under this subsection to any State in respect of any compensation

paid to an individual whose base period wages include wages for

services to which section 3306(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code

of 1986 applies shall be reduced by an amount which bears the same

ratio to the amount which, but for this paragraph, would be payable

under this subsection to such State in respect of such compensation

as the amount of the base period wages attributable to such

services bears to the total amount of the base period wages.

"(b) [Sharable Extended Compensation] For purposes of subsection

(a)(1)(A), extended compensation paid to an individual for weeks of

unemployment in such individual's eligibility period is sharable

extended compensation to the extent that the aggregate extended

compensation paid to such individual with respect to any benefit

year does not exceed the smallest of the amounts referred to in

subparagraphs (A), (B), and (C) of section 202(b)(1).

"(c) [Sharable Regular Compensation] For purposes of subsection

(a)(1)(B), regular compensation paid to an individual for a week of

unemployment is sharable regular compensation -

(determined under section 203(c)), and

"(2) to the extent that the sum of such compensation, plus the

regular compensation paid (or deemed paid) to him with respect to

prior weeks of unemployment in the benefit year, exceeds

twenty-six times (and does not exceed thirty-nine, forty-six in

any case where section 202(b)(3)(A) applies[,] times) the average

weekly benefit amount (including allowances for dependents) for

weeks of total unemployment payable to such individual under the

State law in such benefit year.

"(d) [Payment on Calendar Month Basis] There shall be paid to

each State either in advance or by way of reimbursement, as may be

determined by the Secretary, such sum as the Secretary estimates

the State will be entitled to receive under this title for each

calendar month, reduced or increased, as the case may be, by any

sum by which the Secretary finds that his estimates for any prior

calendar month were greater or less than the amounts which should

have been paid to the State. Such estimates may be made upon the

basis of such statistical, sampling, or other method as may be

agreed upon by the Secretary and the State agency.

"(e) [Certification] The Secretary shall from time to time

certify to the Secretary of the Treasury for payment to each State

the sums payable to such State under this section. The Secretary of

the Treasury, prior to audit or settlement by the General

Accounting Office, shall make payment to the State in accordance

with such certification, by transfers from the extended

unemployment compensation account to the account of such State in

the Unemployment Trust Fund.

99-514, Sec. 2, Oct. 22, 1986, 100 Stat. 2095, provided that:

"(a) The Secretary of Labor (hereinafter in this section referred

to as the 'Secretary') may make loans to the Virgin Islands in such

amounts as he determines to be necessary for the payment in any

month of compensation under the unemployment compensation law of

the Virgin Islands. A loan may be made under this subsection for

the payment of compensation in any month only if -

"(1) the Governor of the Virgin Islands submits an application

therefor no earlier than the first day of the preceding month;

and

"(2) such application contains an estimate of the amount of the

loan which will be required by the Virgin Islands for the payment

of compensation in such month.

"(b) For purposes of this section -

"(1) an application for loan under subsection (a) shall be made

on such forms and shall contain such information and data (fiscal

and otherwise) concerning the operation and administration of the

unemployment compensation law of the Virgin Islands as the

Secretary deems necessary or relevant to the performance of his

duties under this section;

"(2) the amount required by the Virgin Islands for the payment

of compensation in any month shall be determined with due

allowance for contingencies and taking into account all other

amounts that will be available in the unemployment fund of the

Virgin Islands for the payment of compensation in such month; and

"(3) the term 'compensation' means cash benefits payable to

individuals with respect to their unemployment, exclusive of

expenses of administration.

"(c) Any loan made under subsection (a) shall be repayable

(without interest) not later than January 1, 1979. If after January

1, 1979, any portion of any such loan remains unpaid, the Virgin

Islands shall pay interest thereon, until the loan is paid in full,

at a rate equal to the rate of interest in effect under section

6621 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 [formerly I.R.C. 1954].

If at some future date the Federal Unemployment Tax Act [section

3301 et seq. of this title] shall be made applicable to the Virgin

Islands, then, any amount of principal or interest due on any such

loan remaining unpaid on such date shall be treated, for purposes

of section 3302(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as an

advance made to the Virgin Islands under title XII of the Social

Security Act [42 U.S.C. 1321 et seq.].

"(d) No loan may be made under subsection (a) for any month

beginning after September 30, 1977. The aggregate of the loans

which may be made under subsection (a) shall not exceed

$15,000,000.

"(e) There are authorized to be appropriated from the general

fund of the Treasury such sums as may be necessary to carry out

this section."

Subtitle C - Employment Taxes

CHAPTER 23 - FEDERAL UNEMPLOYMENT TAX ACT

-HEAD-

Sec. 3305. Applicability of State law

-STATUTE-

(a) Interstate and foreign commerce

No person required under a State law to make payments to an

unemployment fund shall be relieved from compliance therewith on

the ground that he is engaged in interstate or foreign commerce, or

that the State law does not distinguish between employees engaged

in interstate or foreign commerce and those engaged in intrastate

commerce.

(b) Federal instrumentalities in general

The legislature of any State may require any instrumentality of

the United States (other than an instrumentality to which section

3306(c)(6) applies), and the individuals in its employ, to make

contributions to an unemployment fund under a State unemployment

compensation law approved by the Secretary of Labor under section

3304 and (except as provided in section 5240 of the Revised

Statutes, as amended (12 U.S.C., sec. 484), and as modified by

subsection (c)), to comply otherwise with such law. The permission

granted in this subsection shall apply (A) only to the extent that

no discrimination is made against such instrumentality, so that if

the rate of contribution is uniform upon all other persons subject

to such law on account of having individuals in their employ, and

upon all employees of such persons, respectively, the contributions

required of such instrumentality or the individuals in its employ

shall not be at a greater rate than is required of such other

persons and such employees, and if the rates are determined

separately for different persons or classes of persons having

individuals in their employ or for different classes of employees,

the determination shall be based solely upon unemployment

experience and other factors bearing a direct relation to

unemployment risk; (B) only if such State law makes provision for

the refund of any contributions required under such law from an

instrumentality of the United States or its employees for any year

in the event such State is not certified by the Secretary of Labor

under section 3304 with respect to such year; and (C) only if such

State law makes provision for the payment of unemployment

compensation to any employee of any such instrumentality of the

United States in the same amount, on the same terms, and subject to

the same conditions as unemployment compensation is payable to

employees of other employers under the State unemployment

compensation law.

Nothing contained in section 5240 of the Revised Statutes, as

amended (12 U.S.C. 484), shall prevent any State from requiring any

national banking association to render returns and reports relative

to the association's employees, their remuneration and services, to

the same extent that other persons are required to render like

returns and reports under a State law requiring contributions to an

unemployment fund. The Comptroller of the Currency shall, upon

receipt of a copy of any such return or report of a national

banking association from, and upon request of, any duly authorized

official, body, or commission of a State, cause an examination of

the correctness of such return or report to be made at the time of

the next succeeding examination of such association, and shall

thereupon transmit to such official, body, or commission a complete

statement of his findings respecting the accuracy of such returns

or reports.

(d) Federal property

No person shall be relieved from compliance with a State

unemployment compensation law on the ground that services were

performed on land or premises owned, held, or possessed by the

United States, and any State shall have full jurisdiction and power

to enforce the provisions of such law to the same extent and with

the same effect as though such place were not owned, held, or

possessed by the United States.

[(e) Repealed. Sept. 1, 1954, ch. 1212, Sec. 4(c), 68 Stat. 1135]

(f) American vessels

The legislature of any State in which a person maintains the

operating office, from which the operations of an American vessel

operating on navigable waters within or within and without the

United States are ordinarily and regularly supervised, managed,

directed and controlled, may require such person and the officers

and members of the crew of such vessel to make contributions to its

unemployment fund under its State unemployment compensation law

approved by the Secretary of Labor under section 3304 and otherwise

to comply with its unemployment compensation law with respect to

the service performed by an officer or member of the crew on or in

connection with such vessel to the same extent and with the same

effect as though such service was performed entirely within such

State. Such person and the officers and members of the crew of such

vessel shall not be required to make contributions, with respect to

such service, to the unemployment fund of any other State. The

permission granted by this subsection is subject to the condition

that such service shall be treated, for purposes of wage credits

given employees, like other service subject to such State

unemployment compensation law performed for such person in such

State, and also subject to the same limitation, with respect to

contributions required from such person and from the officers and

members of the crew of such vessel, as is imposed by the second

sentence (other than clause (B) thereof) of subsection (b) with

respect to contributions required from instrumentalities of the

United States and from individuals in their employ.

(g) Vessels operated by general agents of United States

The permission granted by subsection (f) shall apply in the same

manner and under the same conditions (including the obligation to

comply with all requirements of State unemployment compensation

laws) to general agents of the Secretary of Commerce with respect

to service performed by officers and members of the crew on or in

connection with American vessels -

(1) owned by or bareboat chartered to the United States, and

(2) whose business is conducted by such general agents.

As to any such vessel, the State permitted to require contributions

on account of such service shall be the State to which the general

agent would make contributions if the vessel were operated for his

own account. Such general agents are designated, for this purpose,

instrumentalities of the United States neither wholly nor partially

owned by it and shall not be exempt from the tax imposed by section

3301. The permission granted by this subsection is subject to the

same conditions and limitations as are imposed in subsection (f),

except that clause (B) of the second sentence of subsection (b)

shall apply.

(h) Requirement by State of contributions

Any State may, as to service performed on account of which

contributions are made pursuant to subsection (g) -

(1) require contributions from persons performing such service

under its unemployment compensation law or temporary disability

insurance law administered in connection therewith, and

(2) require general agents of the Secretary of Commerce to make

contributions under such temporary disability insurance law and

to make such deductions from wages or remuneration as are

required by such unemployment compensation or temporary

disability insurance law.

(i) General agent as legal entity

Each general agent of the Secretary of Commerce making

contributions pursuant to subsection (g) or (h) shall, for purposes

of such subsections, be considered a legal entity in his capacity

as an instrumentality of the United States, separate and distinct

from his identity as a person employing individuals on his own

account.

(j) Denial of credits in certain cases

Any person required, pursuant to the permission granted by this

section, to make contributions to an unemployment fund under a

State unemployment compensation law approved by the Secretary of

Labor under section 3304 shall not be entitled to the credits

permitted, with respect to the unemployment compensation law of a

State, by subsections (a) and (b) of section 3302 against the tax

imposed by section 3301 for any taxable year if, on October 31 of

such taxable year, the Secretary of Labor certifies to the

Secretary of the Treasury his finding, after reasonable notice and

opportunity for hearing to the State agency, that the unemployment

compensation law of such State is inconsistent with any one or more

of the conditions on the basis of which such permission is granted

or that, in the application of the State law with respect to the

12-month period ending on such October 31, there has been a

substantial failure to comply with any one or more of such

conditions. For purposes of section 3310, a finding of the

Secretary of Labor under this subsection shall be treated as a

finding under section 3304(c).

or more for such service.

(4) Special rule

unless such person is treated as an employer under paragraph (1)

or (2) with respect to such other service.

(b) Wages

For purposes of this chapter, the term "wages" means all

remuneration for employment, including the cash value of all

remuneration (including benefits) paid in any medium other than

(other than remuneration referred to in the succeeding paragraphs

of this subsection) equal to $7,000 with respect to employment

has been paid to an individual by an employer during any calendar

year, is paid to such individual by such employer during such

calendar year. If an employer (hereinafter referred to as

successor employer) during any calendar year acquires

substantially all the property used in a trade or business of

another employer (hereinafter referred to as a predecessor), or

used in a separate unit of a trade or business of a predecessor,

and immediately after the acquisition employs in his trade or

business an individual who immediately prior to the acquisition

was employed in the trade or business of such predecessor, then,

paid remuneration (other than remuneration referred to in the

succeeding paragraphs of this subsection) with respect to

employment equal to $7,000 to such individual during such

calendar year, any remuneration (other than remuneration referred

to in the succeeding paragraphs of this subsection) with respect

for his employees generally and their dependents) or for a class

or classes of his employees (or for a class or classes of his

employees and their dependents), on account of -

(A) sickness or accident disability (but, in the case of

payments made to an employee or any of his dependents, this

subparagraph shall exclude from the term "wages" only payments

which are received under a workmen's compensation law), or

(B) medical or hospitalization expenses in connection with

sickness or accident disability, or

beneficiary -

as remuneration for services rendered as such employee and not

as a beneficiary of the trust, or

payment, is a plan described in section 403(a),

section 408(k)(6),

(D) under or to an annuity contract described in section

403(b), other than a payment for the purchase of such contract

cost of living (as determined by the Secretary of Labor) since

retirement but only if such supplemental payments are under a

plan which is treated as a welfare plan under section

3(2)(B)(ii) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of

1974; (!1)

(G) under a cafeteria plan (within the meaning of section

125) if such payment would not be treated as wages without

regard to such plan and it is reasonable to believe that (if

section 125 applied for purposes of this section) section 125

would not treat any wages as constructively received, or

(H) under an arrangement to which section 408(p) applies,

other than any elective contributions under paragraph (2)(A)(i)

the extent that) at the time of the payment of such remuneration

other than any such payment or series of payments which would

have been paid if the employee's employment relationship had not

been so terminated;

(11) remuneration for agricultural labor paid in any medium

other than cash;

(12) any contribution, payment, or service, provided by an

employer which may be excluded from the gross income of an

employee, his spouse, or his dependents, under the provisions of

section 120 (relating to amounts received under qualified group

legal services plans);

(13) any payment made, or benefit furnished, to or for the

benefit of an employee if at the time of such payment or such

furnishing it is reasonable to believe that the employee will be

able to exclude such payment or benefit from income under section

127 or 129;

(14) the value of any meals or lodging furnished by or on

behalf of the employer if at the time of such furnishing it is

reasonable to believe that the employee will be able to exclude

such items from income under section 119;

(15) any payment made by an employer to a survivor or the

estate of a former employee after the calendar year in which such

employee died;

(16) any benefit provided to or on behalf of an employee if at

the time such benefit is provided it is reasonable to believe

that the employee will be able to exclude such benefit from

income under section 74(c), 117, or 132; or

(17) any payment made to or for the benefit of an employee if

at the time of such payment it is reasonable to believe that the

employee will be able to exclude such payment from income under

section 106(b).

Except as otherwise provided in regulations prescribed by the

Secretary, any third party which makes a payment included in wages

solely by reason of the parenthetical matter contained in

subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) shall be treated for purposes of

this chapter and chapter 22 as the employer with respect to such

wages. Nothing in the regulations prescribed for purposes of

chapter 24 (relating to income tax withholding) which provides an

exclusion from "wages" as used in such chapter shall be construed

to require a similar exclusion from "wages" in the regulations

prescribed for purposes of this chapter.

For purposes of this chapter, the term "employment" means any

service performed prior to 1955, which was employment for purposes

of subchapter C of chapter 9 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1939

under the law applicable to the period in which such service was

performed, and (A) any service, of whatever nature, performed after

1954 by an employee for the person employing him, irrespective of

the citizenship or residence of either, (i) within the United

States, or (ii) on or in connection with an American vessel or

American aircraft under a contract of service which is entered into

within the United States or during the performance of which and

while the employee is employed on the vessel or aircraft it touches

at a port in the United States, if the employee is employed on and

in connection with such vessel or aircraft when outside the United

States, and (B) any service, of whatever nature, performed after

1971 outside the United States (except in a contiguous country with

which the United States has an agreement relating to unemployment

compensation) by a citizen of the United States as an employee of

an American employer (as defined in subsection (j)(3)), except -

(1) agricultural labor (as defined in subsection (k)) unless -

(A) such labor is performed for a person who -

(i) during any calendar quarter in the calendar year or the

preceding calendar year paid remuneration in cash of $20,000

or more to individuals employed in agricultural labor

(including labor performed by an alien referred to in

subparagraph (B)), or

(ii) on each of some 20 days during the calendar year or

the preceding calendar year, each day being in a different

calendar week, employed in agricultural labor (including

labor performed by an alien referred to in subparagraph (B))

for some portion of the day (whether or not at the same

moment of time) 10 or more individuals; and

(B) such labor is not agricultural labor performed by an

individual who is an alien admitted to the United States to

perform agricultural labor pursuant to sections 214(c) and

101(a)(15)(H) of the Immigration and Nationality Act;

(2) domestic service in a private home, local college club, or

local chapter of a college fraternity or sorority unless

performed for a person who paid cash remuneration of $1,000 or

more to individuals employed in such domestic service in any

calendar quarter in the calendar year or the preceding calendar

year;

(3) service not in the course of the employer's trade or

business performed in any calendar quarter by an employee, unless

the cash remuneration paid for such service is $50 or more and

such service is performed by an individual who is regularly

employed by such employer to perform such service. For purposes

of this paragraph, an individual shall be deemed to be regularly

employed by an employer during a calendar quarter only if -

(A) on each of some 24 days during such quarter such

individual performs for such employer for some portion of the

day service not in the course of the employer's trade or

performing services for such general agent rather than the United

States. Each such general agent who in his capacity as such is an

employer within the meaning of subsection (a) shall be subject to
