UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE UNITED STATES 15 amount appropriated for any fiscal year under the provisions of section 5 not in excess of 5 per centum thereof, which shall remain available until expended for expenses incurred in the administration of this act. Src. 4. Except as provided in section 10, in order to obtain the benefits of appropriations apportioned under section 5, a State shall, through its legislature, accept the provisions of this act and designate or authorize the creation of a State agency vested with all powers necessary to cooperate with the United States Employment Service under this act. Sec. 5. (a) For the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this act there is hereby authorized to be appropriated the sum of $4,000,000 for the fiseal year ending June 30, 1931, and for each fiscal year thereafter up to and including the fiscal year ending June 30, 1934. Seventy-five per centum of the amounts appro- priated under this act shall be apportioned by the director general among the several States in the proportion which their population bears to the total popula- tion of the States of the United States according to the next preceding United States census, to be available for the purpose of establishing and maintaining systems of public employment offices in the several States and the political sub- divisions thereof in accordance with the provisions of this act. The balance of the amounts so appropriated shall be available (1) for administrative expenses under subdivision (b) of section 3, and (2) for expenditure as provided in section 10, or, in the discretion of the director general, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of subdivision (a) of section 3 other than for establishing and maintain- ing public employment offices. Except as provided in section 10, no payment shall be made in any year out of the amount of such appropriations ap- portioned to any State until an equal sum has been appropriated for that year by the State, including appropriations made by local subdivisions thereof, for the purpose of maintaining public employment offices as a part of a State- controlled system of public employment offices; except that the amounts so appropriated by the State shall not be less than 25 per centum of the apportion ment according to population, made by the director general for such State for the current year, and in no event less than $5,000. (b) The amounts apportioned to any State for any fiscal year shall be available for payment to and expenditure by such State, for the purposes of this act, until the close of the next succeeding fiscal year; except that amounts apportioned to any State for any fiscal year preceding the fiscal year during which is commenced the first regular session of the legislature of such State held after the enactment of this act, shall remain available for payment to and expenditure by such State until the close of the fiscal year next succeeding that in which such session is commenced. Subject to the foregoing limitations, any amount so apportioned unexpended at the end of the period during which it is available for expenditure under this act shall, within sixty days thereafter, be reapportioned for the current fiscal year, among all the States in the same manner and on the same basis, and certified to the Secretary of the Treasury and treasurers of the States in the same manner, as if it were being apportioned under this act for the first time. Sec. 6. Within sixty days after any appropriation has been made under the authority of this act, the director general shall make the apportionment thereof as provided in section 5 and shall certify to the Secretary of the Treasury the amount estimated by him to be necessary for administering the provisions of this act, and shall certify to the Secretary of the Treasury and to the treasurers of the several States the amount apportioned to each State for the fiscal year for which the appropriation has been made. SEc. 7. Within sixty days after any appropriation has been made under the authority of this act, and as often thereafter while such appropriation remains available as he deems advisable, the director general shall ascertain as to each of the several States (1) whether the State has through its legislature, accepted the provisions of this act and designated or authorized the creation of an agency to cooperate with the United States Employment Service in the administration of this act in compliance with the provisions of section 4 of this act; and (2) the amounts, if any, which have been appropriated by such State, including appropriations made by local subdivisions hereof, in compliance with the provisions of section 5 of this act. If the director general finds that a State has complied with the re- quirements of such sections, and if plans have been submitted and approved in compliance with the provisions of section 8 of this act, the director general shall determine the amount of the payments, if any, to which the State is entitled under the provisions of section 5, and certify such amount to the Secretary of the Treasury. Such certificate shall be sufficient authority to the Secretary of the Treasury to make payments to the State in accordance therewith. 118808—80—sER 11——
