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.
