§8502 — Title 5 Government Organization and Employees | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary of Labor can make an agreement with a State or its unemployment office so the State will act for the federal government to pay unemployment benefits to federal workers. The State must also work with the Secretary and with other States to help pay those benefits. The agreement must say the State will pay a federal worker the same money, under the same rules and conditions, as if the worker’s federal job and wages were included under the State law (as assigned under section 8504). State decisions about who gets benefits can be reviewed only the same way and to the same extent as other State unemployment decisions. Each agreement must say how it can be changed or ended.
