Any State which desires to do so may enter into and participate in an agreement under this section with the Secretary of Labor (in this section referred to as the Secretary ). Any State which is a party to an agreement under this title may, upon providing 30 days' written notice to the Secretary, terminate such agreement. Any agreement under subsection
(a)shall provide that the State agency of the State will make payments of regular compensation in cases where— an individual’s employer temporarily ceases operations due to the COVID–19 emergency; an individual is quarantined with the expectation of returning to work and is not receiving pay due to the COVID–19 emergency; and an individual must stop receiving pay in order to care for family members or dependents due to the COVID–19 emergency. There shall be paid to each State which has entered into an agreement under this section an amount equal to 100 percent of— the total amount of regular compensation paid to individuals by the State by reason of such agreement; and any additional administrative expenses incurred by the State by reason of such agreement (as determined by the Secretary). Sums payable to any State by reason of such State's having an agreement under this section shall be payable, either in advance or by way of reimbursement (as determined by the Secretary), in such amounts as the Secretary estimates the State will be entitled to receive under this section for each calendar month, reduced or increased, as the case may be, by any amount by which the Secretary finds that his estimates for any prior calendar month were greater or less than the amounts which should have been paid to the State. Such estimates may be made on the basis of such statistical, sampling, or other method as may be agreed upon by the Secretary and the State agency of the State involved. Funds in the Federal unemployment account (as established by section 905(g)) of the Unemployment Trust Fund (as established by section 904(a)) shall be used to make payments under subsection (c)(1)(A). Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of the Treasury shall transfer from the general fund of the Treasury (from funds not otherwise appropriated) to the Federal unemployment account such sums as the Secretary of Labor estimates to be necessary to make payments described in subparagraph (A). There are appropriated from the general fund of the Treasury, without fiscal year limitation, the sums referred to in the preceding sentence and such sums shall not be required to be repaid. Funds in the employment security administration account (as established by section 901(a) of the Social Security Act ( 42 U.S.C. 1105(a) )) of the Unemployment Trust Fund (as established by section 904(a) of such Act ( 42 U.S.C. 1104(a) )) shall be used to make payments to States and Indian Tribes pursuant to subsection (c)(1)(B). Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of the Treasury shall transfer from the general fund of the Treasury (from funds not otherwise appropriated) to the employment security administration account such sums as the Secretary of Labor estimates to be necessary to make payments described in subparagraph (A). There are appropriated from the general fund of the Treasury, without fiscal year limitation, the sums referred to in the preceding sentence and such sums shall not be required to be repaid. The Secretary shall from time to time certify to the Secretary of the Treasury for payment to each State the sums payable to such State under this section. An agreement entered into under this section shall apply to weeks of unemployment— beginning after the date on which such agreement is entered into; and ending on or before the earlier of— the date of the termination of the national emergency declared by the President under the National Emergencies Act ( 50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) with respect to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID–19); or December 31, 2020. The provisions of section 4005 of the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2008 ( Public Law 110–252 ; 122 Stat. 2356) shall apply with respect to compensation paid under an agreement under this section to the same extent and in the same manner as in the case of emergency unemployment compensation under title IV of such Act. For purposes of this section, the terms regular compensation , State , State agency , State law , and week have the respective meanings given such terms under section 205 of the Federal-State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970 ( 26 U.S.C. 3304 note).
