-STATUTE-

(a) In general

For the purpose described in subsection (b) of this section, the

Secretary shall, for fiscal year 1998 and each subsequent fiscal

year, allot to each State which has transmitted an application for

the fiscal year under section 705(a) of this title an amount equal

(1) the amount appropriated in subsection (d) of this section

for the fiscal year; and

(2) the percentage determined for the State under section

702(c)(1)(B)(ii) of this title.

(b) Purpose of allotment

(1) The purpose of an allotment under subsection (a) of this

section to a State is to enable the State to provide abstinence

from sexual activity, with a focus on those groups which are most

likely to bear children out-of-wedlock.

(2) For purposes of this section, the term "abstinence education"

means an educational or motivational program which -

(A) has as its exclusive purpose, teaching the social,

psychological, and health gains to be realized by abstaining from

sexual activity;

the expected standard for all school age children;

(C) teaches that abstinence from sexual activity is the only

certain way to avoid out-of-wedlock pregnancy, sexually

transmitted diseases, and other associated health problems;

context of marriage is the expected standard of human sexual

activity;

(E) teaches that sexual activity outside of the context of

marriage is likely to have harmful psychological and physical

effects;

(F) teaches that bearing children out-of-wedlock is likely to

have harmful consequences for the child, the child's parents, and

alcohol and drug use increases vulnerability to sexual advances;

and

(H) teaches the importance of attaining self-sufficiency before

engaging in sexual activity.

(1) Sections 703, 707, and 708 of this title apply to allotments

under subsection (a) of this section to the same extent and in the

same manner as such sections apply to allotments under section

702(c) of this title.

(2) Sections 705 and 706 of this title apply to allotments under

subsection (a) of this section to the extent determined by the

Sec. 1007. Representative payees

-STATUTE-

(a) In general

If the Commissioner of Social Security determines that the

interest of any qualified individual under this subchapter would be

served thereby, payment of the qualified individual's benefit under

this subchapter may be made, regardless of the legal competency or

incompetency of the qualified individual, either directly to the

qualified individual, or for his or her benefit, to another person

(the meaning of which term, for purposes of this section, includes

an organization) with respect to whom the requirements of

subsection (b) of this section have been met (in this section

referred to as the qualified individual's "representative payee").

If the Commissioner of Social Security determines that a

representative payee has misused any benefit paid to the

representative payee pursuant to this section, 405(j) of this

title, or section 1383(a)(2) of this title, the Commissioner of

Social Security shall promptly revoke the person's designation as

the qualified individual's representative payee under this

subsection, and shall make payment to an alternative representative

payee or, if the interest of the qualified individual under this

subchapter would be served thereby, to the qualified individual.

(b) Examination of fitness of prospective representative payee

(1) Any determination under subsection (a) of this section to pay

the benefits of a qualified individual to a representative payee

shall be made on the basis of -

(A) an investigation by the Commissioner of Social Security of

the person to serve as representative payee, which shall be

conducted in advance of the determination and shall, to the

extent practicable, include a face-to-face interview with the

person (or, in the case of an organization, a representative of

the organization); and

(B) adequate evidence that the arrangement is in the interest

of the qualified individual.

(2) As part of the investigation referred to in paragraph (1),

the Commissioner of Social Security shall -

(A) require the person being investigated to submit documented

proof of the identity of the person;

(B) in the case of a person who has a social security account

number issued for purposes of the program under subchapter II of

this chapter or an employer identification number issued for

purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, verify the number;

(C) determine whether the person has been convicted of a

violation of section 408, 1011, or 1383a of this title; and

(D) determine whether payment of benefits to the person in the

capacity as representative payee has been revoked or terminated

pursuant to this section, section 405(j) of this title, or

section 1383(a)(2)(A)(iii) of this title by reason of misuse of

funds paid as benefits under this subchapter, subchapter II, or

XVI of this chapter, respectively.

(c) Requirement for maintaining lists of undesirable payees

The Commissioner of Social Security shall establish and maintain

lists which shall be updated periodically and which shall be in a

form that renders such lists available to the servicing offices of

the Social Security Administration. The lists shall consist of -

(1) the names and (if issued) social security account numbers

or employer identification numbers of all persons with respect to

whom, in the capacity of representative payee, the payment of

benefits has been revoked or terminated under this section,

section 405(j) of this title, or section 1383(a)(2)(A)(iii) of

this title by reason of misuse of funds paid as benefits under

this subchapter, subchapter II, or XVI of this chapter,

respectively; and

(2) the names and (if issued) social security account numbers

or employer identification numbers of all persons who have been

convicted of a violation of section 408, 1011, or 1383a of this

title.

(d) Persons ineligible to serve as representative payees

(1) In general

The benefits of a qualified individual may not be paid to any

other person pursuant to this section if -

(A) the person has been convicted of a violation of section

408, 1011, or 1383a of this title;

(B) except as provided in paragraph (2), payment of benefits

to the person in the capacity of representative payee has been

revoked or terminated under this section, section 405(j) of

this title, or section 1383(a)(2)(A)(ii) (!1) of this title by

reason of misuse of funds paid as benefits under this

subchapter, subchapter II, or subchapter XVI of this chapter,

respectively; or

(C) except as provided in paragraph (2)(B), the person is a

creditor of the qualified individual and provides the qualified

individual with goods or services for consideration.

(2) Exemptions

(A) The Commissioner of Social Security may prescribe

circumstances under which the Commissioner of Social Security may

grant an exemption from paragraph (1) to any person on a

case-by-case basis if the exemption is in the best interest of

the qualified individual whose benefits would be paid to the

person pursuant to this section.

(B) Paragraph (1)(C) shall not apply with respect to any person

who is a creditor referred to in such paragraph if the creditor

is -

(i) a relative of the qualified individual and the relative

resides in the same household as the qualified individual;

(ii) a legal guardian or legal representative of the

individual;

(iii) a facility that is licensed or certified as a care

facility under the law of the political jurisdiction in which

the qualified individual resides;

(iv) a person who is an administrator, owner, or employee of

a facility referred to in clause (iii), if the qualified

individual resides in the facility, and the payment to the

facility or the person is made only after the Commissioner of

Social Security has made a good faith effort to locate an

alternative representative payee to whom payment would serve

the best interests of the qualified individual; or

(v) a person who is determined by the Commissioner of Social

Security, on the basis of written findings and pursuant to

procedures prescribed by the Commissioner of Social Security,

to be acceptable to serve as a representative payee.

(C) The procedures referred to in subparagraph (B)(v) shall

require the person who will serve as representative payee to

establish, to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of Social

Security, that -

(i) the person poses no risk to the qualified individual;

(ii) the financial relationship of the person to the

qualified individual poses no substantial conflict of interest;

and

(iii) no other more suitable representative payee can be

found.

(e) Deferral of payment pending appointment of representative payee

(1) In general

Subject to paragraph (2), if the Commissioner of Social

Security makes a determination described in the first sentence of

subsection (a) of this section with respect to any qualified

individual's benefit and determines that direct payment of the

benefit to the qualified individual would cause substantial harm

to the qualified individual, the Commissioner of Social Security

may defer (in the case of initial entitlement) or suspend (in the

case of existing entitlement) direct payment of the benefit to

the qualified individual, until such time as the selection of a

representative payee is made pursuant to this section.

(2) Time limitation

(A) In general

Except as provided in subparagraph (B), any deferral or

suspension of direct payment of a benefit pursuant to paragraph

(1) shall be for a period of not more than 1 month.

(B) Exception in the case of incompetency

Subparagraph (A) shall not apply in any case in which the

qualified individual is, as of the date of the Commissioner of

Social Security's determination, legally incompetent under the

laws of the jurisdiction in which the individual resides.

(3) Payment of retroactive benefits

Payment of any benefits which are deferred or suspended pending

the selection of a representative payee shall be made to the

qualified individual or the representative payee as a single sum

or over such period of time as the Commissioner of Social

Security determines is in the best interest of the qualified

individual.

(f) Hearing

Any qualified individual who is dissatisfied with a determination

by the Commissioner of Social Security to make payment of the

qualified individual's benefit to a representative payee under

subsection (a) of this section or with the designation of a

particular person to serve as representative payee shall be

entitled to a hearing by the Commissioner of Social Security to the

same extent as is provided in section 1009(a) of this title, and to

judicial review of the Commissioner of Social Security's final

decision as is provided in section 1009(b) of this title.

(g) Notice requirements

(1) In general

In advance, to the extent practicable, of the payment of a

qualified individual's benefit to a representative payee under

subsection (a) of this section, the Commissioner of Social

Security shall provide written notice of the Commissioner's

initial determination to so make the payment. The notice shall be

provided to the qualified individual, except that, if the

qualified individual is legally incompetent, then the notice

shall be provided solely to the legal guardian or legal

representative of the qualified individual.

(2) Specific requirements

Any notice required by paragraph (1) shall be clearly written

in language that is easily understandable to the reader, shall

identify the person to be designated as the qualified

individual's representative payee, and shall explain to the

reader the right under subsection (f) of this section of the

qualified individual or of the qualified individual's legal

guardian or legal representative -

(A) to appeal a determination that a representative payee is

necessary for the qualified individual;

(B) to appeal the designation of a particular person to serve

as the representative payee of the qualified individual; and

(C) to review the evidence upon which the designation is

based and to submit additional evidence.

(h) Accountability monitoring

(1) In general

In any case where payment under this subchapter is made to a

person other than the qualified individual entitled to the

payment, the Commissioner of Social Security shall establish a

system of accountability monitoring under which the person shall

report not less often than annually with respect to the use of

the payments. The Commissioner of Social Security shall establish

and implement statistically valid procedures for reviewing the

reports in order to identify instances in which persons are not

properly using the payments.

(2) Special reports

Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the Commissioner of Social

Security may require a report at any time from any person

receiving payments on behalf of a qualified individual, if the

Commissioner of Social Security has reason to believe that the

person receiving the payments is misusing the payments.

(3) Maintaining lists of payees

The Commissioner of Social Security shall maintain lists which

shall be updated periodically of -

(A) the name, address, and (if issued) the social security

account number or employer identification number of each

representative payee who is receiving benefit payments pursuant

to this section, section 405(j) of this title, or section

1383(a)(2) of this title; and

(B) the name, address, and social security account number of

each individual for whom each representative payee is reported

to be providing services as representative payee pursuant to

this section, section 405(j) of this title, or section

1383(a)(2) of this title.

(4) Maintaining lists of agencies

The Commissioner of Social Security shall maintain lists, which

shall be updated periodically, of public agencies and

community-based nonprofit social service agencies which are

qualified to serve as representative payees pursuant to this

section and which are located in the jurisdiction in which any

qualified individual resides.

(i) Restitution

In any case where the negligent failure of the Commissioner of

Social Security to investigate or monitor a representative payee

results in misuse of benefits by the representative payee, the

Commissioner of Social Security shall make payment to the qualified

individual or the individual's alternative representative payee of

an amount equal to the misused benefits. The Commissioner of Social

Security shall make a good faith effort to obtain restitution from

the terminated representative payee.

Sec. 1008. Overpayments and underpayments

-STATUTE-

(a) In general

Whenever the Commissioner of Social Security finds that more or

less than the correct amount of payment has been made to any person

under this subchapter, proper adjustment or recovery shall be made,

as follows:

(1) With respect to payment to a person of more than the

correct amount, the Commissioner of Social Security shall

decrease any payment -

(A) under this subchapter to which the overpaid person (if a

qualified individual) is entitled, or shall require the

overpaid person or his or her estate to refund the amount in

excess of the correct amount, or, if recovery is not obtained

under these two methods, shall seek or pursue recovery by means

of reduction in tax refunds based on notice to the Secretary of

the Treasury, as authorized under section 3720A of title 31; or

(B) under subchapter II of this chapter to recover the amount

in excess of the correct amount, if the person is not currently

eligible for payment under this subchapter.

(2) With respect to payment of less than the correct amount to

a qualified individual who, at the time the Commissioner of

Social Security is prepared to take action with respect to the

underpayment -

(A) is living, the Commissioner of Social Security shall make

payment to the qualified individual (or the qualified

individual's representative payee designated under section 1007

of this title) of the balance of the amount due the underpaid

qualified individual; or

(B) is deceased, the balance of the amount due shall revert

to the general fund of the Treasury.

(b) No effect on subchapter VIII eligibility or benefit amount

In any case in which the Commissioner of Social Security takes

action in accordance with subsection (a)(1)(B) of this section to

recover an amount incorrectly paid to an individual, that

individual shall not, as a result of such action -

(1) become qualified for benefits under this subchapter; or

(2) if such individual is otherwise so qualified, become

qualified for increased benefits under this subchapter.

(c) Waiver of recovery of overpayment

In any case in which more than the correct amount of payment has

been made, there shall be no adjustment of payments to, or recovery

by the United States from, any person who is without fault if the

Commissioner of Social Security determines that the adjustment or

recovery would defeat the purpose of this subchapter or would be

against equity and good conscience.

(d) Limited immunity for disbursing officers

A disbursing officer may not be held liable for any amount paid

by the officer if the adjustment or recovery of the amount is

waived under subsection (b) of this section, or adjustment under

subsection (a) of this section is not completed before the death of

the qualified individual against whose benefits deductions are

authorized.

(e) Authorized collection practices

(1) In general

With respect to any delinquent amount, the Commissioner of

Social Security may use the collection practices described in

sections 3711(e), 3716, and 3718 of title 31, as in effect on

October 1, 1994.

(2) Definition

For purposes of paragraph (1), the term "delinquent amount"

means an amount -

(A) in excess of the correct amount of the payment under this

subchapter; and

(B) determined by the Commissioner of Social Security to be

otherwise unrecoverable under this section from a person who is

not a qualified individual under this subchapter.

Sec. 1009. Hearings and review

-STATUTE-

(a) Hearings

(1) In general

The Commissioner of Social Security shall make findings of fact

and decisions as to the rights of any individual applying for

payment under this subchapter. The Commissioner of Social

Security shall provide reasonable notice and opportunity for a

hearing to any individual who is or claims to be a qualified

individual and is in disagreement with any determination under

this subchapter with respect to entitlement to, or the amount of,

benefits under this subchapter, if the individual requests a

hearing on the matter in disagreement within 60 days after notice

of the determination is received, and, if a hearing is held,

shall, on the basis of evidence adduced at the hearing affirm,

modify, or reverse the Commissioner of Social Security's findings

of fact and the decision. The Commissioner of Social Security

may, on the Commissioner of Social Security's own motion, hold

such hearings and conduct such investigations and other

proceedings as the Commissioner of Social Security deems

necessary or proper for the administration of this subchapter. In

the course of any hearing, investigation, or other proceeding,

the Commissioner may administer oaths and affirmations, examine

witnesses, and receive evidence. Evidence may be received at any

hearing before the Commissioner of Social Security even though

inadmissible under the rules of evidence applicable to court

procedure. The Commissioner of Social Security shall specifically

take into account any physical, mental, educational, or

linguistic limitation of the individual (including any lack of

facility with the English language) in determining, with respect

to the entitlement of the individual for benefits under this

subchapter, whether the individual acted in good faith or was at

fault, and in determining fraud, deception, or intent.

(2) Effect of failure to timely request review

A failure to timely request review of an initial adverse

determination with respect to an application for any payment

under this subchapter or an adverse determination on

reconsideration of such an initial determination shall not serve

as a basis for denial of a subsequent application for any payment

under this subchapter if the applicant demonstrates that the

applicant failed to so request such a review acting in good faith

reliance upon incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information,

relating to the consequences of reapplying for payments in lieu

of seeking review of an adverse determination, provided by any

officer or employee of the Social Security Administration.

(3) Notice requirements

In any notice of an adverse determination with respect to which

a review may be requested under paragraph (1), the Commissioner

of Social Security shall describe in clear and specific language

the effect on possible entitlement to benefits under this

subchapter of choosing to reapply in lieu of requesting review of

the determination.

(b) Judicial review

The final determination of the Commissioner of Social Security

after a hearing under subsection (a)(1) of this section shall be

subject to judicial review as provided in section 405(g) of this

title to the same extent as the Commissioner of Social Security's

final determinations under section 405 of this title.

future payments.

(3)(A) For purposes of paragraph (1)(A), the limitation on the

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 subparagraph 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) of this section.

(e) Revolving fund; appropriations; advances to Account; repayment;

interest

(1) There is hereby established in the Treasury a revolving fund

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 account as of the beginning of any fiscal

year equals 40 percent of the amount of the total appropriation by

the Congress out of the employment 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 administration account

made under this subsection shall bear interest until repaid at a

rate equal to the average rate of interest (computed as of the end

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 centum next

lower than such average rate.

(4) Advances to the employment security administration account

made under this subsection, plus interest accrued thereon, shall be

security administration account 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 administration 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 subsection.

(f) Determination of excess in Account; limitation on amount to be

retained; use of balance in Account during certain fiscal years;

net balance

(1) The Secretary of the Treasury shall determine as of the close

of each fiscal year (beginning with the fiscal year ending June 30,

1961) the excess in the employment security administration account.

(2) The excess in the employment security administration account

as of the close of any fiscal year is the amount by which the net

balance in such account as of such time (after the application of

section 1102(b) of this title and paragraph (3)(C) of this

subsection) exceeds the net balance in the employment security

administration account as of the beginning of that fiscal year

(including the fiscal year for which the excess is being computed)

for which the net balance 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

administration account as of the beginning of any fiscal year after

June 30, 1972, or $150 million, whichever is the lesser, is

authorized to be made available for such fiscal year pursuant to

subsection (c)(1) of this section for additional costs of

administration due to an increase in the rate of insured

unemployment 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 determined as provided in

paragraph (2) as of the close of any fiscal year after June 30,

1972, is not retained in the employment security administration

account, there shall be transferred (as of the beginning of the

succeeding fiscal year) to the extended unemployment compensation

account the balance of such excess or so much thereof as is

required to increase the amount in the extended unemployment

compensation account 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 unemployment compensation account

exceeds the limit provided in section 1105(b)(2) of this title,

such excess shall be transferred to the employment 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 administration 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) of this section, and

(B) the balance of advances (plus interest accrued thereon)

then repayable to the revolving fund established by subsection

(e) of this section.

The net balance in the employment security administration account

as of the beginning of any fiscal year shall be determined after

the disposition of the excess in such account as of the close of

(1) If as of the close of any fiscal year after the fiscal year

ending June 30, 1972, the amount in the extended unemployment

compensation account has reached the limit provided in section

1105(b)(2) of this title and the amount in the Federal unemployment

account has reached the limit provided in section 1102(a) of this

subsection as of any October 1 -

(A) shall be determined by the Secretary of Labor and certified

by such Secretary to the Secretary of the Treasury before such

(1) If the Secretary of Labor finds that on October 1 of any

fiscal year -

(A) a State is not eligible for certification under section 503

of this title, or

Federal unemployment account as of the beginning of such October 1.

If, during the fiscal year beginning on such October 1, the

Secretary of Labor finds and certifies to the Secretary of the

Treasury that such State is eligible for certification under

section 503 of this title, that the law of such State is approvable

under such section 3304, or both, the Secretary of the Treasury

shall transfer such amount from the Federal unemployment account to

the account of such State. If the Secretary of Labor does not so

transfer to such State's account as of October 1 of such fiscal

year shall (as of the close of such fiscal year) become

unrestricted as to use as part of the Federal unemployment account.

(2) The amount which, but for this paragraph, would be

transferred to the account of a State under subsection (a) of this

section or paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be reduced (but

not below zero) by the balance of advances made to the State under

section 1321 of this title. The sum by which such amount is reduced

shall -

(A) be transferred to or retained in (as the case may be) the

Federal unemployment account, and

(B) be credited against, and operate to reduce -

1960, to the State under section 1321 of this title, and

(ii) second, any balance of advances made on or after

September 13, 1960, to the State under section 1321 of this

title.

individuals with respect to their unemployment, exclusive of

expenses of administration.

(2) A State may, pursuant to a specific appropriation made by the

legislative body of the State, use money withdrawn from its account

in the payment of expenses incurred by it for the administration of

its unemployment compensation law and public employment offices if

and only if -

such money after the close of the two-year period which began on

the date of enactment of the appropriation law,

(C) the money is withdrawn and the expenses are incurred after

such date of enactment,

(D)(i) the appropriation law limits the total amount which may

be obligated under such appropriation at any time to an amount

which does not exceed, at any such time, the amount by which -

(I) the aggregate of the amounts transferred to the account

of such State pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this

section, exceeds

(II) the aggregate of the amounts used by the State pursuant

to this subsection and charged against the amounts transferred

to the account of such State, and

(ii) for purposes of clause (i), amounts used by a State for

Sec. 1104. Unemployment Trust Fund

-STATUTE-

(a) Establishment

There is hereby established in the Treasury of the United States

a trust fund to be known as the "Unemployment Trust Fund",

hereinafter in this subchapter called the "Fund". The Secretary of

the Treasury is authorized and directed to receive and hold in the

Fund all moneys deposited therein by a State agency from a State

unemployment fund, or by the Railroad Retirement Board to the

credit of the railroad unemployment insurance account or the

railroad unemployment insurance administration fund, or otherwise

deposited in or credited to the Fund or any account therein. Such

deposit may be made directly with the Secretary of the Treasury,

with any depositary designated by him for such purpose, or with any

Federal Reserve Bank.

(b) Investments

It shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to invest

such portion of the Fund as is not, in his judgment, required to

meet current withdrawals. Such investment may be made only in

interest-bearing obligations of the United States or in obligations

guaranteed as to both principal and interest by the United States.

For such purpose such obligations may be acquired (1) on original

issue at the issue price, or (2) by purchase of outstanding

obligations at the market price. The purposes for which obligations

of the United States may be issued under chapter 31 of title 31 are

hereby extended to authorize the issuance at par of special

obligations exclusively to the Fund. Such special obligations shall

bear interest at a rate equal to the average rate of interest,

computed as of the end of the calendar month next preceding the

date of such issue, borne by all interest-bearing obligations of

the United States then forming 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 of such special obligations shall be

the multiple of one-eighth of 1 per centum next lower than such

average rate. Obligations other than such special obligations may

be acquired for the Fund only on such terms as to provide an

investment yield not less than the yield which would be required in

the case of special obligations if issued to the Fund upon the date

of such acquisition. Advances made to the Federal unemployment

account pursuant to section 1323 of this title shall not be

invested.

(c) Sale or redemption of obligations

Any obligations acquired by the Fund (except special obligations

issued exclusively to the Fund) may be sold at the market price,

and such special obligations may be redeemed at par plus accrued

interest.

(d) Treatment of interest and proceeds

The interest on, and the proceeds from the sale or redemption of,

any obligations held in the Fund shall be credited to and form a

part of the Fund.

(e) Separate book accounts

The Fund shall be invested as a single fund, but the Secretary of

the Treasury shall maintain a separate book account for each State

agency, the employment security administration account, the Federal

unemployment account, the railroad unemployment insurance account,

and the railroad unemployment insurance administration fund and

shall credit quarterly (on March 31, June 30, September 30, and

December 31, of each year) to each account, on the basis of the

average daily balance of such account, a proportionate part of the

earnings of the Fund for the quarter ending on such date. For the

purpose of this subsection, the average daily balance shall be

computed -

(1) in the case of any State account, by reducing (but not

below zero) the amount in the account by the balance of advances

made to the State under section 1321 of this title, and

(2) in the case of the Federal unemployment account -

(A) by adding to the amount in the account the aggregate of

the reductions under paragraph (1), and

(B) by subtracting from the sum so obtained the balance of

advances made under section 1323 of this title to the account.

(f) Payment to State agencies and Railroad Retirement Board

The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay

out of the Fund to any State agency such amount as it may duly

requisition, not exceeding the amount standing to the account of

such State agency at the time of such payment. The Secretary of the

Treasury is authorized and directed to make such payments out of

the railroad unemployment insurance account for the payment of

benefits, and out of the railroad unemployment insurance

administration fund for the payment of administrative expenses, as

the Railroad Retirement Board may duly certify, not exceeding the

amount standing to the credit of such account or such fund, as the

case may be, at the time of such payment.

(g) Federal unemployment account; establishment

There is hereby established in the Unemployment Trust Fund a

Federal unemployment account.

Sec. 1105. Extended Unemployment Compensation Account

-STATUTE-

(a) Establishment

There is hereby established in the Unemployment Trust Fund an

extended unemployment compensation account. For the purposes

provided for in section 1104(e) of this title, such account shall

be maintained as a separate book account.

(b) Transfers to account

(1) Except as provided in paragraph (3), the Secretary of the

Treasury shall transfer (as of the close of each month) from the

employment security administration account to the extended

unemployment compensation account established by subsection (a) of

this section, an amount (determined by such Secretary) equal to 20

percent of the amount by which -

(A) the transfers to the employment security administration

account pursuant to section 1101(b)(2) of this title during such

month, exceed

(B) the payments during such month from the employment security

administration account pursuant to section 1101(b)(3) and (d) of

this title.

If for any such month the payments referred to in subparagraph (B)

exceed the transfers referred to in subparagraph (A), proper

adjustments shall be made in the amounts subsequently transferred.

(2) Whenever the Secretary of the Treasury determines pursuant to

section 1101(f) of this title that there is an excess in the

employment security administration account as of the close of any

fiscal year beginning after June 30, 1972, there shall be

transferred (as of the beginning of the succeeding fiscal year) to

the extended unemployment compensation account the total amount of

such excess or so much thereof as is required to increase the

amount in the extended unemployment compensation account to

whichever of the following is the greater:

(A) $750,000,000, or

(B) the amount (determined by the Secretary of Labor and

certified by him to the Secretary of the Treasury) equal to 0.5

percent of the total wages subject (determined without any

limitation on amount) to contributions under all State

unemployment compensation laws for the calendar year ending

during the fiscal year for which the excess is determined.

(3) The Secretary of the Treasury shall make no transfer pursuant

to paragraph (1) as of the close of any month if he determines that

the amount in the extended unemployment compensation account is

equal to (or in excess of) the limitation provided in paragraph

(2).

(c) Transfers to State accounts

Amounts in the extended unemployment compensation account shall

be available for transfer to the accounts of the States in the

Unemployment Trust Fund as provided in section 204(e) of the

Federal-State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970.

(d) Advances to account; repayment

There are hereby authorized to be appropriated, without fiscal

year limitation, to the extended unemployment compensation account,

as repayable advances, such sums as may be necessary to carry out

the purposes of the Federal-State Extended Unemployment

Compensation Act of 1970. Amounts appropriated as repayable

advances shall be repaid by transfers from the extended

unemployment compensation account to the general fund of the

Treasury, at such times as the amount in the extended unemployment

compensation account is determined by the Secretary of the

Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of Labor, to be

adequate for such purpose. Repayments under the preceding sentence

shall be made whenever the Secretary of the Treasury (after

consultation with the Secretary of Labor) determines that the

amount then in the account exceeds the amount necessary to meet the

anticipated payments from the account during the next 3 months. Any

amount transferred as a repayment under this subsection shall be

credited against, and shall operate to reduce, any balance of

advances repayable under this subsection. Amounts appropriated as

repayable advances for purposes of this subsection shall bear

interest at a rate equal to the average rate of interest, computed

as of the end of the calendar month next preceding the date of such

advance, borne by all interest bearing obligations of the United

States then forming part of the public debt; except that in cases

in which such average rate is not a multiple of one-eighth of 1

percent, the rate of interest shall be the multiple of one-eighth

of 1 percent next lower than such average rate.

-STATUTE-

provide for the establishment or designation of a single State

agency to administer the plan, or provide for the establishment or

designation of a single State agency to supervise the

administration of the plan; (4) provide (A) for granting an

opportunity for a fair hearing before the State agency to any

individual whose claim for aid to the blind is denied or is not

acted upon with reasonable promptness, and (B) that if the State

plan is administered in each of the political subdivisions of the

State by a local agency and such local agency provides a hearing at

which evidence may be presented prior to a hearing before the State

agency, such local agency may put into effect immediately upon

issuance its decision upon the matter considered at such hearing;

(5) provide (A) such methods of administration (including after

January 1, 1940, methods relating to the establishment and

maintenance of personnel standards on a merit basis, except that

the Secretary shall exercise no authority with respect to the

selection, tenure of office, and compensation of any individual

employed in accordance with such methods) as are found by the

Secretary to be necessary for the proper and efficient operation of

the plan, and (B) for the training and effective use of paid

subprofessional staff, with particular emphasis on the full-time or

part-time employment of recipients and other persons of low-income,

as community service aides, in the administration of the plan and

for the use of nonpaid or partially paid volunteers in a social

service volunteer program in providing services to applicants and

recipients and in assisting any advisory committees established by

the State agency; (6) provide that the State agency will make such

reports, in such form and containing such information, as the

Secretary may from time to time require, and comply with such

provisions as the Secretary may from time to time find necessary to

assure the correctness and verification of such reports; and (!1)

(7) provide that no aid will be furnished any individual under the

plan with respect to any period with respect to which he is

receiving old-age assistance under the State plan approved under

section 302 of this title or assistance under a State program

funded under part A of subchapter IV of this chapter; (8) provide

that the State agency shall, in determining need, take into

consideration any other income and resources of the individual

claiming aid to the blind, as well as any expenses reasonably

attributable to the earning of any such income, except that, in

making such determination, the State agency (A) shall disregard the

first $85 per month of earned income, plus one-half of earned

income in excess of $85 per month, (B) shall, for a period not in

excess of twelve months, and may, for a period not in excess of

thirty-six months, disregard such additional amounts of other

income and resources, in the case of an individual who has a plan

for achieving self-support approved by the State agency, as may be

necessary for the fulfillment of such plan, and (C) may, before

disregarding the amounts referred to in clauses (A) and (B),

disregard not more than $7.50 of any income; (9) provide safeguards

which permit the use or disclosure of information concerning

applicants or recipients only (A) to public officials who require

such information in connection with their official duties, or (B)

to other persons for purposes directly connected with the

administration of the State plan; (10) provide that, in determining

whether an individual is blind, there shall be an examination by a

physician skilled in diseases of the eye or by an optometrist,

whichever the individual may select; (11) effective July 1, 1951,

provide that all individuals wishing to make application for aid to

the blind shall have opportunity to do so, and that aid to the

blind shall be furnished with reasonable promptness to all eligible

individuals; (12) effective July 1, 1953, provide, if the plan

includes payments to individuals in private or public institutions,

for the establishment or designation of a State authority or

authorities which shall be responsible for establishing and

maintaining standards for such institutions; (13) provide a

description of the services (if any) which the State agency makes

available (using whatever internal organizational arrangement it

finds appropriate for this purpose) to applicants for and

recipients of aid to the blind to help them attain self-support or

self-care, including a description of the steps taken to assure, in

the provision of such services, maximum utilization of other

agencies providing similar or related services; and (14) provide

that information is requested and exchanged for purposes of income

and eligibility verification in accordance with a State system

which meets the requirements of section 1320b-7 of this title.

(b) The Secretary shall approve any plan which fulfills the

conditions specified in subsection (a) of this section, except that

he shall not approve any plan which imposes, as a condition of

eligibility for aid to the blind under the plan -

(1) Any residence requirement which excludes any resident of

the State who has resided therein five years during the nine

years immediately preceding the application for aid and has

resided therein continuously for one year immediately preceding

the application; or

(2) Any citizenship requirement which excludes any citizen of

the United States.

At the option of the State, the plan may provide that manuals and

other policy issuances will be furnished to persons without charge

for the reasonable cost of such materials, but such provision shall

not be required by the Secretary as a condition for the approval of

such plan under this subchapter. In the case of any State (other

than Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands) which did not have on

January 1, 1949, a State plan for aid to the blind approved under

this subchapter, the Secretary shall approve a plan of such State

for aid to the blind for purposes of this subchapter, even though

it does not meet the requirements of clause (8) of subsection (a)

of this section, if it meets all other requirements of this

subchapter for an approved plan for aid to the blind; but payments

under section 1203 of this title shall be made, in the case of any

such plan, only with respect to expenditures thereunder which would

be included as expenditures for the purposes of section 1203 of

this title under a plan approved under this section without regard

to the provisions of this sentence.

Sec. 1203. Payment to States

-STATUTE-

(a) Authorization of payments

From the sums appropriated therefor, the Secretary of the Treasury shall pay to each State which has an approved plan for aid

to the blind, for each quarter, beginning with the quarter

commencing October 1, 1958 -

(1) Repealed. Pub. L. 97-35, title XXI, Sec. 2184(c)(2)(A),

Aug. 13, 1981, 95 Stat. 817.

(2) in the case of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam,

an amount equal to one-half of the total of the sums expended during such quarter as aid to the blind under the State plan, not

counting so much of any expenditure with respect to any month as

exceeds $37.50 multiplied by the total number of recipients of

aid to the blind for such month; and

(3) in the case of any State, an amount equal to 50 percent of

the total amounts expended during such quarter as found necessary

by the Secretary for the proper and efficient administration of

the State plan.

(b) Computation of amounts

The method of computing and paying such amounts shall be as

follows:

(1) The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall, prior to

the beginning of each quarter, estimate the amount to be paid to

the State for such quarter under the provisions of subsection (a)

of this section, such estimate to be based on (A) a report filed

by the State containing its estimate of the total sum to be

expended in such quarter in accordance with the provisions of

such subsection, and stating the amount appropriated or made

available by the State and its political subdivisions for such

expenditures in such quarter, and if such amount is less than the

State's proportionate share of the total sum of such estimated

expenditures, the source or sources from which the difference is

expected to be derived, (B) records showing the number of blind

individuals in the State, and (C) such other investigation as the

Secretary may find necessary.

(2) The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall then

certify to the Secretary of the Treasury the amount so estimated

by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, (A) reduced or

increased, as the case may be, by any sum by which he finds that

his estimate for any prior quarter was greater or less than the

amount which should have been paid to the State under subsection

(a) of this section for such quarter, and (B) reduced by a sum

equivalent to the pro rata share to which the United States is

equitably entitled, as determined by the Secretary of Health and

Human Services, of the net amount recovered during a prior

quarter by the State or any political subdivision thereof with

respect to aid to the blind furnished under the State plan;

except that such increases or reductions shall not be made to the

extent that such sums have been applied to make the amount

certified for any prior quarter greater or less than the amount

estimated by the Secretary of Health and Human Services for such

prior quarter: Provided, That any part of the amount recovered

from the estate of a deceased recipient which is not in excess of

the amount expended by the State or any political subdivision

thereof for the funeral expenses of the deceased shall not be

considered as a basis for reduction under clause (B) of this

paragraph.

(3) The Secretary of the Treasury shall thereupon, through the

Fiscal Service of the Treasury Department, and prior to audit or

settlement by the General Accounting Office, pay to the State, at

the time or times fixed by the Secretary of Health and Human

Services, the amount so certified.
