LA Rev Stat § 23:1471 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 23 - Labor and Worker's Compensation|§1471. Short title; declaration of public policy

RS 1471 - Short title; declaration of public policy This Chapter may be cited as the "Louisiana Employment Security Law". As a guide to the interpretation and application of this Chapter, the public policy of this state is declared to be as follows: Economic insecurity due to unemployment is a serious menace to the health, morals and welfare of the people of this state. Unemployment is therefore a subject of general interest and concern which requires appropriate action by the Legislature to prevent its spread and to lighten its burden which now so often falls with crushing force upon the unemployed worker and his family. The achievement of social security requires protection against this greatest hazard of our economic life. This can be provided by encouraging employers to provide more stable employment and by the systematic accumulation of funds during periods of employment to provide benefits for periods of unemployment, thus maintaining purchasing power and limiting the serious social consequences of poor relief assistance. The Legislature, therefore, declares that in its considered judgment the public good, and the general welfare of the citizens of this state require the enactment of this measure, for the compulsory setting aside of unemployment reserves to be used for the benefit of unemployed persons. Amended by Acts 1950, No. 498, §1.

Moneys in the clearing and benefit accounts shall not be commingled with other state funds, but shall be maintained in separate accounts on the books of the depository bank. Such money shall be secured by the depository bank to the same extent and in the same manner as required by the general depository law of this state; and collateral pledged for this purpose shall be kept separate and distinct from any collateral pledged to secure other funds of the state. The administrator shall give a bond conditioned upon the faithful performance of his duties with respect to the fund in an amount not to exceed $25,000.

If and when such unemployment trust fund ceases to exist, or such separate book account is no longer maintained, all moneys, properties, or securities therein, belonging to the unemployment compensation fund of this state shall be administered by the administrator as a trust fund for the purpose of paying benefits under this act, and the administrator shall have authority to hold, invest, transfer, sell, deposit, and release such moneys, and any properties, securities or earnings acquired as an incident to such administration; provided, that such moneys shall be invested in the following readily marketable classes of securities: bonds or other interest-bearing obligations of the United States of America; bonds which are the direct obligations of the State of Louisiana or any political subdivision thereof which has not defaulted in the payment of any of its bonded indebtedness during the twenty years preceding such investment; and provided that such investment shall at all times be so made that all the assets of the fund shall always be readily convertible into cash when needed for the payment of benefits.
