2021 Tennessee Code|Title 50 - Employer and Employee|Chapter 7 - Tennessee Employment Security Law|Part 1 - General Provisions|§ 50-7-102. Declaration of State Public Policy — Construction

  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; therefore, involuntary unemployment is a subject of general interest and concern that requires action by the general assembly to prevent its spread and to lighten its burden that 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 to 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; and   The general assembly, therefore, declares that in its considered judgment the public good and general welfare of the citizens of this state require the enactment of this measure, under the police powers of the state, for the compulsory setting aside of unemployment reserves to be used for the benefit of persons unemployed through no fault of their own.     This chapter is to be construed in pari materia with Internal Revenue Code, § 3303(a)(1), codified in 26 U.S.C. § 3303(a)(1), and is to be construed in accordance with the construction placed on the Internal Revenue Code, § 3303(a)(1) to the extent the construction is relevant to this chapter, it being the intent of the general assembly that this chapter was adopted with the intent to conform with the Internal Revenue Code, and further that it was the intent of the general assembly to enact the remaining portions of this chapter that are in conformity with the Internal Revenue Code, if some portions of this chapter should be declared not to meet the requirements.

This chapter is to be construed in pari materia with the federal Unemployment Tax Act, compiled in 26 U.S.C. § 3301 et seq., the federal Social Security Act, compiled in 42 U.S.C. § 301 et seq., and any other related federal law and is to be construed in accordance with the construction placed on those acts to the extent the construction is relevant to this chapter, it being the intent of the general assembly that this chapter was adopted with the intent to conform with the federal laws, and, therefore, any section, paragraph, clause or portion of this chapter that is declared by lawful authority not to conform to the law or laws shall be void and of no effect. Further, that it is the intent of the general assembly to enact the remaining portions of this chapter that are in conformity with the relevant provisions of the federal law or laws if some portions of this chapter are declared not to conform with the federal requirements.   If any federal law or laws or any portions of the law or laws effectively requiring state unemployment compensation laws to cover services performed in the employ of governmental employers referred to in § 50-7-207(b)(3) should be repealed by congress or held unconstitutional by any action of the supreme court of the United States, no further premiums or payments in lieu of premiums shall be made by the employers, and the services will no longer be considered covered by this chapter.
