§8506 — Title 5 Government Organization and Employees | U.S. Code

Summary

Federal agencies and any fully or partly government-owned organizations must give state agencies that have agreements under this subchapter, or the Secretary of Labor, the information the Secretary needs to decide if a federal employee is entitled to compensation under this subchapter. That information must include the employer’s findings about four things: whether the work was federal service, the dates of that service, the amount of federal wages, and the reasons the service ended. A State agency that runs unemployment compensation must give the Secretary any information the Secretary of Labor considers necessary or appropriate to carry out this subchapter. That information counts as the report required by the Secretary under section 503(a)(6) of title 42.
