2021 Delaware Code|Title 19 - Labor|Chapter 31. Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board|Subchapter IV. Special Funds|§ 3164. Unemployment Compensation Administration Fund.

§ 3164. Unemployment Compensation Administration Fund. (a) There shall be in the State Treasury a special fund to be known as the Unemployment Compensation Administration Fund. All moneys which are deposited or paid into this Fund shall be continuously available to the Department for expenditure in accordance with this part and shall not lapse at any time or be transferred to any other fund. All moneys in this Fund which are received from the federal government or any agency thereof or which are appropriated by this State for the purposes described in §§ 3151 and 3152 of this title shall be expended solely for the purposes and in the amounts found necessary by the Secretary of Labor of the United States for the proper and efficient administration of this part. The Administration Fund shall consist of all moneys appropriated by this State, all moneys received from the United States of America, or any agency thereof, including the Secretary of Labor of the United States, and all moneys received from any other source for such purpose, and shall also include any moneys received from any agency of the United States or any other state as compensation for services or facilities supplied to such agency, any amounts received pursuant to any surety bond or insurance policy or from other sources for losses sustained by the Unemployment Compensation Administration Fund or by reason of damage to equipment or supplies purchased from moneys in such Fund and any proceeds realized from the sale or disposition of any such equipment or supplies which may no longer be necessary for the proper administration of this part. All moneys in the Administration Fund shall be deposited, administered and disbursed, in the same manner and under the same conditions and requirements as is provided by law for other special funds in the State Treasury, except that moneys in this Fund shall not be commingled with other state funds, but shall be maintained in a separate account on the books of a depositary bank. (b) The State Treasurer shall be liable on the Treasurer's official bond for the faithful performance of duties in connection with the Administration Fund provided for under this section. Such liability on the official bond shall exist in addition to any liability upon any separate bond which may be given by the State Treasurer. All sums recovered on any surety bond for losses sustained by the Administration Fund shall be deposited in that Fund. 41 Del. Laws, c. 258, §  13;  43 Del. Laws, c. 280, §  19;  19 Del.

2021 Delaware Code|Title 19 - Labor|Chapter 31. Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board|Subchapter IV. Special Funds|§ 3165. Reimbursement of Administration Fund by State.

§ 3165. Reimbursement of Administration Fund by State. If any moneys received after June 30, 1941, from the Secretary of Labor of the United States under Title III of the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. § 501 et seq.] or any unencumbered balances in the Unemployment Compensation Administration Fund as of that date or any moneys granted after that date to this State pursuant to the Wagner-Peyser Act [29 U.S.C. § 49 et seq.] or any moneys made available by this State or its political subdivisions are found by the Secretary of Labor of the United States because of any action or contingency to have been lost or been expended for purposes other than or in amounts in excess of those found necessary by the Secretary of Labor of the United States for the proper administration of this part, it is the policy of this State that such amounts shall be replaced from the moneys in the Special Administration Fund of the Department of Labor. Upon receipt of notice of such a finding by the Secretary of Labor of the United States, the Department shall promptly replace the amount required for such replacement from the Special Administration Fund, or, if the balance in this Fund is insufficient, it shall promptly report the amount required for such replacement to the Governor, and the Governor shall, at the earliest opportunity, submit to the General Assembly the request for the appropriation of such amount. This section and § 3164 of this title shall not be construed to relieve this State of its obligation with respect to funds received prior to July 1, 1941, pursuant to the provisions of Title III of the Social Security Act. 41 Del.

2021 Delaware Code|Title 19 - Labor|Chapter 33. Unemployment Compensation|Subchapter I. General Provisions|§ 3301. Declaration of public policy.

§ 3301. Declaration of public policy. 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. Involuntary unemployment is therefore a subject of general interest and concern which requires appropriate action by the General Assembly to prevent its spread and to lighten its burden which now so often falls with crushing force upon the unemployed worker and the worker's family. The achievement of social security requires protection against this greatest hazard of our economic life. This can be accomplished by encouraging employers to provide more stable employment and by the systematic accumulation of funds during periods of employment from which benefits may be paid for periods of unemployment, thus maintaining purchasing power and limiting the serious social consequences of poor relief assistance. The General Assembly 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, under the police power of the State, for the compulsory setting aside of an unemployment reserve to be used for the benefit of persons unemployed through no fault of their own. 41 Del.

§ 3305. Termination of chapter upon amendment, repeal or declaration of unconstitutionality of federal Social Security Act; disposition of moneys. This chapter is enacted as part of a national plan of social security in conformity to the federal Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. § 301 et seq.]. In the event that the tax levied under § 3301 of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act [26 U.S.C. § 3301], against which assessments under this chapter may be credited, is amended or repealed by Congress or declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States, with the result that no portion of the assessments required under this chapter may be credited against such federal tax, the provisions of this chapter, except those of this section and except as otherwise provided in this chapter, shall become inoperative. Thereupon, all assets standing to the credit of this State in the Unemployment Trust Fund in the United States Treasury shall be promptly requisitioned by the Department of Labor, which is granted continuing authority for the purposes of this section, and, together with all assets in the Unemployment Compensation Fund, shall be refunded to persons required to pay assessments under this chapter in accordance with the regulations prescribed by the Department. Any interest or earnings of the Fund and any fines or penalties collected pursuant to this chapter shall be available to the Department to pay for the costs of making refunds pursuant to this section. In the case of the Unemployment Compensation Administration Fund, any moneys therein received from the Secretary of Labor of the United States shall thereafter be dealt with by the Treasurer of this State in accordance with the regulations of the Secretary of Labor of the United States and the conditions of the grant to this State by the Secretary of Labor of the United States. Any assets in the Unemployment Compensation Administration Fund which have been received by this State from the United States employment service or which have been appropriated by the General Assembly for the State Employment Service shall remain available to the State Employment Service, which Service shall continue in existence as if this chapter had not been enacted. The same action shall be taken with respect to assets in the Unemployment Compensation Fund, the Unemployment Trust Fund and the Unemployment Compensation Administration Fund in the event that this chapter is repealed by the General Assembly or finally declared invalid by the Supreme Court of the State or by the Supreme Court of the United States. 41 Del.
