UNEMPLCYMENT IN THE UNITED STATES
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 appropri-
ations made by local subdivisions thereof, in compliance with the provisions of
section 5 of this act. If the director general finds that a State has complied with
the requirements 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.
SEc. 8. Any State desiring to receive the benefits of this act shall, by the agency
designated to cooperate with the United States Employment Service, submit to
the director general detailed plans for carrying out the provisions of this act
within such State. If such plans are in conformity with the provisions of this act
and reasonably appropriate and adequate to carry out its purposes, they shall be
approved by the director general and due notice of such approval shall be given
to the State agency.
Sec. 9. Each State agency cooperating with the United States Employment
Service under this act shall make such reports concerning its operations and
expenditures as shall be prescribed by the director general. It shall be the duty
of the director general to ascertain whether the system of public employment
offices maintained in each State is conducted in accordance with the rules and
regulations and the standards of efficiency prescribed by the director general in
accordance with the provisions of this act. The director general may revoke any
existing certificates or withhold any further certificate provided for in section 7,
whenever he shall determine, as to any State, that the cooperating State agency
has not properly expended the moneys paid to it or the moneys herein required to
be appropriated by such State, in accordance with plans approved under this act.
Before any such certificate shall be revoked or withheld from any State, the
director general shall give notice in writing to the State agency, stating specifically
wherein the State has failed to comply with such plans. The State agency may
appeal to the Secretary of Labor from the action of the director general in any
such case and the Secretary of Labor may either affirm or reverse the action of the
director general with such directions as he shall consider proper.
Sec. 10. During the current fiscal year and the two succeeding fiscal years the
director general is authorized to expend in any State so much of the sums appor-
tioned to such State according to population, and so much of the unapportioned
balance of the appropriation made under the provisions of section 5 as he may
deem necessary, as follows:
(a) In States where there is no State system of public employment offices, in
establishing and maintaining a system of public employment offices under the
control of the director general.
(b) In States where there is a State system of public employment offices, but
where the State has not complied with the provisions of section 4, in establishing
a cooperative Federal and State system of public employment offices to be main-
tained by such officer or board and in such manner as may be agreed upon by and
between the governor of the State and the director general; except that pending
the conclusion of such agreement, but for not more than one year, the director
general may establish and maintain in any such State a system of public employ-
ment offices under the control of the director general.
Sec. 11. (a) The director general shall establish a Federal advisory council
composed of an equal number of employers and employees for the purpose of
formulating policies and discussing problems relating to unemployment, and
insuring impartiality, neurtality, and freedom from political influence in solution
of such problems. Members of such council shall be selected from time to time
in such manner as the director general shall prescribe. The director general
shall also require the organization of similar State advisory councils composed
of equal numbers of employers and employees.
