This

are immediately paid over to the
Secretary of the Treasury, in conformity
with Social Security Act (SSA) section
303(a)(4) and Federal Unemployment

reports also assure that expenditure of
all money withdrawn from the
unemployment fund of a state is used
exclusively for the payment of benefits,
exclusive of refund.

notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
