(820 ILCS 405/2103) (from Ch. 48, par. 663)

Sec. 2103. Unemployment compensation administration and other workforce development costs. All moneys received by the State or by the Department from any source for the financing of the cost of administration of this Act, including all federal moneys allotted or apportioned to the State or to the Department for that purpose, including moneys received directly or indirectly from the federal government under the Job Training Partnership Act, and including moneys received from the Railroad Retirement Board as compensation for services or facilities supplied to said Board, or any moneys made available by this State or its political subdivisions and matched by moneys granted to this State pursuant to the provisions of the Wagner-Peyser Act, shall be received and held by the State Treasurer as ex-officio custodian thereof, separate and apart from all other State moneys, in the Title III Social Security and Employment Fund, and such funds shall be distributed or expended upon the direction of the Director and, except money received pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2100B, shall be distributed or expended solely for the purposes and in the amounts found necessary by the Secretary of Labor of the United States of America, or other appropriate federal agency, for the proper and efficient administration of this Act. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, all money requisitioned and deposited with the State Treasurer pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2100B shall remain part of the unemployment trust fund and shall be used only in accordance with the conditions specified in the last paragraph of Section 2100B.

If any moneys received from the Secretary of Labor, or other appropriate federal agency, under Title III of the Social Security Act, or any moneys granted to this State pursuant to the provisions of the Wagner-Peyser Act, or any moneys made available by this State or its political subdivisions and matched by moneys granted to this State pursuant to the provisions of the Wagner-Peyser Act, are found by the Secretary of Labor, or other appropriate Federal agency, because of any action or contingency, to have been lost or expended for purposes other than, or in amounts in excess of, those found necessary, by the Secretary of Labor, or other appropriate Federal agency, for the proper administration of this Act, it is the policy of this State that such moneys shall be replaced by moneys appropriated for such purpose from the general funds of this State for expenditure as provided in the first paragraph of this Section. The Director shall report to the Governor's Office of Management and Budget, in the same manner as is provided generally for the submission by State Departments of financial requirements for the ensuing fiscal year, and the Governor shall include in his budget report to the next regular session of the General Assembly, the amount required for such replacement.

Moneys in the Title III Social Security and Employment Fund shall not be commingled with other State funds, but they shall be deposited as required by law and maintained in a separate account on the books of a savings and loan association or bank.

The State Treasurer shall be liable on his general official bond for the faithful performance of his duties as custodian of all moneys in the Title III Social Security and Employment Fund. 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 fund herein described shall be deposited therein.

Upon the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1987 (January 1, 1988), the Comptroller shall transfer all unobligated funds from the Job Training Fund into the Title III Social Security and Employment Fund.

On September 1, 2000, or as soon thereafter as may be reasonably practicable, the State Comptroller shall transfer all unobligated moneys from the Job Training Partnership Fund into the Title III Social Security and Employment Fund. The moneys transferred pursuant to this amendatory Act may be used or expended for purposes consistent with the conditions under which those moneys were received by the State.

Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, all moneys that would otherwise be deposited into the Job Training Partnership Fund shall instead be deposited into the Title III Social Security and Employment Fund, to be used for purposes consistent with the conditions under which those moneys are received by the State, except that any moneys that may be necessary to pay liabilities outstanding as of June 30, 2000 shall be deposited into the Job Training Partnership Fund.
