This legislation amends Title XII of the Social Security Act to establish a strict requirement for states regarding the repayment of federal unemployment insurance (UI) advances. It mandates that if a state receives federal funds that could be used to repay an advance made under section 1201, the state must use those funds to repay the outstanding advance within five business days. This repayment must occur prior to using the funds for any other purpose . Should a state violate this provision by misallocating the funds, the Secretary will determine non-compliance, and the state will then be required to pay an amount equal to the full amount of the funds back to the Federal Government within five business days of that determination. This new requirement applies to all federal funds awarded to states on or after the bill's enactment date, aiming to ensure accountability in loan repayment.
