§  581-d.  Contributions to the interest assessment surcharge fund. 1.   Each employer that is liable for contributions under this article  shall   pay  an assessment to the commissioner at a rate established annually by   the commissioner sufficient to pay interest due  on  advances  from  the   federal  unemployment account under Title XII of the Social Security Act   (42 U.S. Code Sections  1321  to  1324)  during  any  period  that  such   interest  will  accrue. The rate shall be applied to wages as defined in   section five hundred eighteen  of  this  article  effective  as  of  the   beginning  of  the  first  calendar  quarter  of  the year such interest   becomes due. The commissioner shall establish the  necessary  procedures   for   payment   of   such  assessments.  The  amounts  received  by  the   commissioner based on such assessments shall be paid over  and  credited   to  the  interest  assessment  surcharge  fund.  At  such  time that the   commissioner determines that this assessment is no longer necessary, any   amount remaining from such assessments, after all such federal  interest   charges  have  been  paid,  shall  be  deposited  into  the unemployment   insurance trust fund and credited to  employer  accounts.  Such  credits   shall  be determined based on the percentage of each employer's wages to   the total statewide wages of the  payroll  year  and  credited  to  each   employer's account as of the computation date of the year prior to which   such  assessment  shall  no  longer  be  levied.  The  provisions of law   applicable to  the  collection  of  contributions  shall  apply  to  the   collection of such assessments.2.  The  commissioner  shall  notify  the  chairpersons  of the senate   finance committee and the assembly  ways  and  means  committee  of  the   amount  being  assessed  on  employers and the procedures for payment of   such assessments no later than thirty days prior to the  application  of   the interest assessment surcharge. On a quarterly basis the commissioner   shall  provide  the chairpersons of the senate finance committee and the   assembly ways and means committee the  assessment  rate  that  shall  be   applied  to wages as well as the amount of any previous advances and the   estimated  amount  of  future  monthly   advances   from   the   federal   unemployment account under Title XII of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.   Code  Sections  1321  to  1324)  for  the  calendar  year, the amount of   interest due and the amount of interest paid for the calendar year.
