[CHAPTER 463-2D SESSION]
[H. R. 7212]

AN ACT

To amend section 13 (d) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the proviso contained in the third paragraph of subsection (d) of section 13 of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, as amended (which proviso relates to the postponement of withholding from certification for payment to States, in certain cases, of amounts for the administration of State unemployment compensation laws) is amended as follows:

(1) By striking out "until July 1, 1942" and by inserting in lieu thereof the following: "until July 1, 1944, or until a date one hundred and eighty days after the adjournment of the first session of the legislature of such State beginning after July 1, 1942, whichever date is the earlier"; and

(2) By adding at the end of such proviso the following sentence: "An enactment of any State legislature providing for the transfer (from the State's account in the Unemployment Trust Fund to the railroad unemployment insurance account) of all interest earned upon contributions which are collected with respect to employment occurring after such enactment by such State pursuant to its unemployment compensation law and credited to its account in the Unemployment Trust Fund (until the total of such transfers equals the amounts which otherwise would be required to be withheld from certification under this subsection), shall be deemed an effective authorization and direction to the Secretary of the Treasury as required by this subsection; and for purposes of computing the interest to be so transferred, amounts withdrawn by such State from its account in the Unemployment Trust Fund after the date of such State enactment shall be considered to be first charged against the amounts credited to such State's account prior to the date of such State enactment: Provided, however, That if at any time after such enactment the provision for transfer therein contained for any reason fails to be operative to effect the transfers of interest as therein prescribed, and such State has not otherwise made an effective authorization and direction to the Secretary of the Treasury as required by this subsection, the Social Security Board shall immediately after such failure or, on the date otherwise provided in this subsection for the beginning of withholdings from certification, whichever is later, begin to make the withholdings from certification provided for in this subsection in the same manner and to the same extent as if such enactment by such State had not been enacted,

(116)

except that the amounts of the certifications withheld shall be reduced by the total amount, if any, which has been transferred from interest pursuant to such enactment."

Approved, June 30, 1942.

[H. J. Res. 116]

JOINT RESOLUTION

To facilitate the execution of subsection (d) of section 13 of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, as amended.

Whereas subsection (d) of section 13 of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, as amended, has been executed with respect to all States other than the State of Kentucky; and

Whereas it is deemed by the public authorities of the State of Kentucky to be more appropriate that in connection with the provision by the State of Kentucky for the execution of the provisions of said subsection there be specified a sum certain as the total amount to be transferred in accordance with the provisions of said subsection; and

Whereas it has been determined that the sum of $1,260,000 is substantially equivalent to the amounts which would after June 30, 1944, be transferred or withheld from the State of Kentucky pursuant to said subsection: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That, notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the sum of $1,260,000 shall constitute the total amount remaining after June 30, 1944, to be withheld by the Social Security Board pursuant to subsection (d) of section 13 of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, as amended, from certification to the Secretary of the Treasury for payment for the administration of the Kentucky unemployment compensation law. The provisions of subsection (f) of section 13 of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, as amended, shall apply to such withholding in the same manner as such subsection is applicable in the event of any transfer or withholding in accordance with subsection (d) of such section.

Approved October 26, 1945.

To provide for refunds to railroad employees in certain cases, so as to place the various States on an equal basis, under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, with respect to contributions of employees.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That (a) notwithstanding any other provision of law, in any case where an employee amount (as hereinafter defined) was paid from a State unemployment fund to the Unemployment Trust Fund, an aggregate amount equal thereto shall be paid from the Unemployment Trust Fund, as refunds, to employees who paid into the State fund the contributions upon which such payment into the Unemployment Trust Fund was based, except that in case any such employee is deceased, payment shall be made to his estate; and the payment so made in the case of any employee shall be in proportion to the contributions paid by such employee into the State fund: Provided, That payment in any such case shall be made only if application therefor is made to the Railroad Retirement Board within twelve months after the date of enactment of this Act. (b) As used in this Act

(1) The term "employee amount" means any amount paid from a State unemployment fund to the Unemployment Trust Fund which would not have been required to be paid, under the provisions of section 13 (c) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, if such section 13 (c) had not required payment of amounts based on contributions collected from employees.

(2) The term "Unemployment Trust Fund" means the fund established by section 904 of the Social Security Act.

(3) The term "employees" has the same meaning as in the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act.

Approved August 2, 1946.
