Sec. 1403. Financing benefits paid to state employees. Benefits paid to individuals with respect to whom this State or any of its wholly owned instrumentalities is the last employer as provided in Section 1502.1 shall be financed by appropriations to the Department of Employment Security.
The State Treasurer shall be liable on his general official bond for the faithful performance of his duties with regard to such moneys as may come into his hands by virtue of this Section. Such liability on his official bond shall exist in addition to the liability upon any separate bond given by him. All sums recovered for losses sustained by the clearing account herein described shall be deposited therein.
In lieu of contributions required of other employers under this Act, the State Treasurer shall transfer to and deposit in the clearing account an amount equal to 100% of regular benefits, including dependents' allowances, and 100% of extended benefits, including dependents' allowances paid to an individual, but only if the State:
(a)is the last employer as provided in Section 1502.1 and
(b)paid, to the individual receiving benefits, wages for insured work during his base period. If the State meets the requirements of
(a)but not (b), it shall be required to make payments in an amount equal to 50% of regular benefits, including dependents' allowances, and 50% of extended benefits, including dependents' allowances, paid to an individual.
On and after July 1, 2005, transfers to the clearing account pursuant to this Section shall be made directly from such funds and accounts as the appropriations to the Department authorize, as designated by the Director. On July 1, 2005, or as soon thereafter as may be reasonably practicable, all remaining funds in the State Employees' Unemployment Benefit Fund shall be transferred to the clearing account, and, upon the transfer of those funds, the State Employees' Unemployment Benefit Fund is abolished.
The Director shall ascertain the amount to be so transferred and deposited by the State Treasurer as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar quarter. The provisions of paragraphs 4 and 5 of Section 1404B shall be applicable to a determination of the amount to be so transferred and deposited. Such deposit shall be made by the State Treasurer at such times and in such manner as the Director may determine and direct.
Every department, institution, agency and instrumentality of the State of Illinois shall make available to the Director such information with respect to any individual who has performed insured work for it as the Director may find practicable and necessary for the determination of such individual's rights under this Act. Each such department, institution, agency and instrumentality shall file such reports with the Director as he may by regulation prescribe.
