Section 841.1 - Special Administration Fund(a) There is hereby created a special fund, separate and apart from all public moneys or funds of this Commonwealth, to be known as the Special Administration Fund. Under rules and regulations adopted by the department, interest and penalties collected from employers under the provisions of this act may be paid into the Special Administration Fund. Such rules and regulations may provide for determining in any manner which payments of interest and penalties are to be paid into the Special Administration Fund and which payments of interest and penalties are to be paid into the Unemployment Compensation Fund. The moneys in this fund shall be used for the payment of costs of administration which are found not to have been properly and validly chargeable against Federal grants or other funds received for or in the Administration Fund. Said moneys 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 would in the absence of said moneys be available to finance expenditures for the administration of this act. Nothing in this section shall prevent said moneys from being used as a revolving fund 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. The State Treasurer shall make payment of obligations from the Special Administration Fund as herein provided, upon requisition of the secretary and certification by him that no other funds are available or can properly be used to finance such expenditures. The moneys in this fund are hereby specifically made available to replace any moneys received pursuant to section three hundred and two of the Federal Social Security Act, as amended, which, because of any action or contingency, have been lost or have been expended for purposes other than, or in amounts in excess of, those necessary for the proper administration of this act and are available for such replacement, whether or not such moneys were expended or the obligations covering such expenditures were incurred prior or subsequent to the enactment of this amendment. The moneys in this fund shall be continuously available for expenditure in accordance with the provisions of this section, and shall not lapse at any time or be transferred to any other fund except as herein provided and as provided under section three hundred eleven, wherein an amount equal to any refund or credit of interest or penalties shall be transferred from the Special Administration Fund to the Unemployment Compensation Fund.(b) All moneys in the fund in excess of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) on June 25th of each year shall be transferred to either the Unemployment Compensation Fund and credited to the Employers' Contribution Account as specified in section 601 or the Job Training Fund as specified in section 601.4, or transferred to both, as determined by the department, in consultation with the Secretary of the Budget. If the department determines that such excess shall be transferred to both the Unemployment Compensation Fund and the Job Training Fund, the department, in consultation with the Secretary of the Budget, shall determine what portion of such excess is transferred to each fund.(c), (d) Deleted by 1983, July 21, P.L. 68, No. 30, § 23, imd. effective.1936, Second Ex.Sess., Dec. 5, P.L.
