(a) State entitlement. Each State is entitled to be paid by the
United States with respect to each individual whose base period wages
included Federal military wages, an amount bearing the same ratio to the
total amount of compensation paid to such individual as the amount of
the individual's Federal military wages in the individual's base period
bears to the total amount of the individual's base period wages.
(b) Payment. Each State shall be paid, either in advance or by way
of reimbursement, as may be determined by the Department, the sum that
the Department estimates the State is entitled to receive under the Act
and this part for each calendar month. The sum shall be reduced or
increased by the amount which the Department finds that its estimate for
an earlier calendar month was greater or less than the sum which should
have been paid to the State. An estimate may be made on the basis of a
statistical, sampling, or other method agreed on by the Department and
the State agency.
(c) Certification by the Department. The Department, from time to
time, shall certify to the Secretary of the Treasury the sum payable to
each State under this section. The Secretary of the Treasury, before
audit or settlement by the General Accounting Office, shall pay the
State in accordance with the certification from the funds for carrying
out the purposes of the Act and this part.
(d) Use of money. Money paid a State under the Act and this part may
be used solely for the purposes for which it is paid. Money so paid
which is not used solely for these purposes shall be returned, at the
time specified by the Agreement, to the Treasury of the United States
and credited to the current applicable appropriation, fund, or account
from which payments to States under the Act and this part may be made.
