SEC. 2. INCREASE IN UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION BENEFITS.

(a) Federal-State Agreements.--Any State which desires to do so may
enter into and participate in an agreement under this section with the
Secretary of Labor (hereinafter in this section referred to as the
''Secretary''). Any State which is a party to an agreement under this
section may, upon providing 30 days' written notice to the Secretary,
terminate such agreement.
(b) Provisions of Agreement.--
(1) Additional compensation.--Any agreement under this
section shall provide that the State agency of the State will
make payments of regular compensation to individuals in amounts
and to the extent that they would be determined if the State
law of the State were applied, with respect to any week for
which the individual is (disregarding this section) otherwise
entitled under the State law to receive regular compensation,
as if such State law had been modified in a manner such that
the amount of regular compensation (including dependents'
allowances) payable for any week shall be equal to the amount
determined under the State law (before the application of this
paragraph) plus an additional $50.
(2) Allowable methods of payment.--Any additional
compensation provided for in accordance with paragraph (1)
shall be payable either--
(A) as an amount which is paid at the same time and
in the same manner as any regular compensation
otherwise payable for the week involved; or
(B) at the option of the State, by payments which
are made separately from, but on the same weekly basis
as, any regular compensation otherwise payable.
(c) Nonreduction Rule.--An agreement under this section shall not
apply (or shall cease to apply) with respect to a State upon a
determination by the Secretary that the method governing the
computation of regular compensation under the State law of that State
has been modified in a manner such that--
(1) the average weekly benefit amount of regular
compensation which will be payable during the period of the
agreement (determined disregarding any additional amounts
attributable to the modification described in subsection
(b)(1)) will be less than
(2) the average weekly benefit amount of regular
compensation which would otherwise have been payable during
such period under the State law, as in effect on December 31,
2008.
(d) Payments to States.--
(1) In general.--
(A) Full reimbursement.--There shall be paid to
each State which has entered into an agreement under
this section an amount equal to 100 percent of--
(i) the total amount of additional
compensation (as described in subsection
(b)(1)) paid to individuals by the State
pursuant to such agreement; and
(ii) any additional administrative expenses
incurred by the State by reason of such
agreement (as determined by the Secretary).
(B) Terms of payments.--Sums payable to any State
by reason of such State's having an agreement under
this section shall be payable, either in advance or by
way of reimbursement (as determined by the Secretary),
in such amounts as the Secretary estimates the State
will be entitled to receive under this section for each
calendar month, reduced or increased, as the case may
be, by any amount 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 on the basis of
such statistical, sampling, or other method as may be
agreed upon by the Secretary and the State agency of
the State involved.
(2) Certifications.--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.
(3) Appropriation.--There are appropriated from the general
fund of the Treasury, without fiscal year limitation, such sums
as may be necessary for purposes of this subsection.
(e) Applicability.--
(1) In general.--An agreement entered into under this
section shall apply to weeks of unemployment--
(A) beginning after the date on which such
agreement is entered into; and
(B) ending before January 1, 2010.
(2) Transition rule for individuals remaining entitled to
regular compensation as of january 1, 2010.--In the case of any
individual who, as of the date specified in paragraph (1)(B),
has not yet exhausted all rights to regular compensation under
the State law of a State with respect to a benefit year that
began before such date, additional compensation (as described
in subsection (b)(1)) shall continue to be payable to such
individual for any week beginning on or after such date for
which the individual is otherwise eligible for regular
compensation.
(3) Termination.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
this subsection, no additional compensation (as described in
subsection (b)(1)) shall be payable for any week beginning
after June 30, 2010.
(f) Fraud and Overpayments.--The provisions of section 4005 of the
Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2008 (Public Law 110-252; 122 Stat.
2356) shall apply with respect to additional compensation (as described
in subsection (b)(1)) to the same extent and in the same manner as in
the case of emergency unemployment compensation.
(g) Application to Other Unemployment Benefits.--
(1) In general.--Each agreement under this section shall
include provisions to provide that the purposes of the
preceding provisions of this section shall be applied with
respect to unemployment benefits described in subsection (h)(3)
to the same extent and in the same manner as if those benefits
were regular compensation.
(2) Eligibility and termination rules.--Additional
compensation (as described in subsection (b)(1))--
(A) shall not be payable, pursuant to this
subsection, with respect to any unemployment benefits
described in subsection (h)(3) for any week beginning

receive additional compensation (as so described) in
connection with any regular compensation or any
unemployment benefits described in subsection (h)(3)
