RS 23:1513.2: Louisiana Works administration account

A. Louisiana Works administration account is hereby created in the Employment Security Administration Fund. Proceeds and interest earnings of the special assessment held for the purposes of adjusting special assessments and refunding special assessment overpayments to employers and which are not encumbered by June 30, 1997, shall be paid into this account and shall be available to the secretary on July 1, 1997, for the exclusive use by and for the administration of Louisiana Works regardless of the date at which time such monies are expended.

B. Said monies shall at no time be considered part of the unemployment compensation fund and shall not be expended or available for expenditure in any manner which would permit their substitution for, or a corresponding reduction in, federal funds which in the absence of said monies would be available to the department for the administration of this Title; however, nothing in this Section shall prevent said monies from being used as a revolving account to cover expenditures necessary and proper under the law for which federal funds have been duly requested, but not yet received, subject to the charging of such expenditures against such funds when received.
