The States have the direct responsibility for establishing and operating their own unemployment insurance programs, while the Federal Government finances the cost of administration. State unemployment insurance tax collections are used solely for the payment of benefits. Federal unemployment insurance tax collections are used to finance expenses deemed necessary for proper and efficient administration of the State unemployment insurance laws; to reimburse State funds for one-half the costs of extended benefits paid under the provisions of State laws which conform to the provisions of the Social Security Act and the Federal Unemployment Tax Act; and to make repayable advances to States when needed to pay benefit costs. Funds used for benefit payments may not be used for any program administration costs nor for training, job search, and job relocation payments. Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) is paid out of funds provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Benefits for former Federal civilian employees after October 1, 1983, former members of the Armed Forces, (including postal workers) are paid out of the Federal Employees Compensation Account (FECA) in the Unemployment Trust Fund, subject to reimbursement by the former employing agency. Under the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program, weekly trade readjustment allowances (TRA), TAA training costs (including subsistence and transportation), job search allowances, relocation allowances, and the administration of TAA training are paid out of funds of the Federal Unemployment Benefits and Allowance Appropriation Account (FUBA).
