Chapter 25. Special Employment and Training Services Fund
(Unemployment Trust Fund)
IC 22-4-25-1 Creation; use of funds
Sec. 1. (a) There is created in the state treasury a special fund to
be known as the special employment and training services fund. All
interest on delinquent contributions and penalties collected under this
article, together with any voluntary contributions tendered as a
contribution to this fund, shall be paid into this fund. The money
shall not be expended or available for expenditure in any manner
which would permit their substitution for (or a corresponding
reduction in) federal funds which would in the absence of said
money be available to finance expenditures for the administration of
this article, but nothing in this section shall prevent said money from
being used as a revolving fund to cover expenditures necessary and
proper under the law for which federal funds have been duly
requested but not yet received, subject to the charging of such
expenditures against such funds when received. The money in this
fund shall be used by the board for the payment of refunds of interest
on delinquent contributions and penalties so collected, for the
payment of costs of administration which are found not to have been
properly and validly chargeable against federal grants or other funds
received for or in the employment and training services
administration fund, on and after July 1, 1945. Such money shall be
available either to satisfy the obligations incurred by the board
directly, or by transfer by the board of the required amount from the
special employment and training services fund to the employment
and training services administration fund. The board shall order the
transfer of such funds or the payment of any such obligation or
expenditure and such funds shall be paid by the treasurer of state on
requisition drawn by the board directing the auditor of state to issue
the auditor's warrant therefor. Any such warrant shall be drawn by
the state auditor based upon vouchers certified by the board or the
commissioner. The money in this fund is hereby specifically made
available to replace within a reasonable time any money received by
this state pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 502, as amended, which, because of
any action or contingency, has been lost or has been expended for
purposes other than or in amounts in excess of those approved by the
bureau of employment security. The money in this fund shall be
continuously available to the board for expenditures in accordance
with the provisions of this section and shall not lapse at any time or
be transferred to any other fund, except as provided in this article.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit, alter, or amend the
liability of the state assumed and created by IC 22-4-28, or to change
the procedure prescribed in IC 22-4-28 for the satisfaction of such
liability, except to the extent that such liability may be satisfied by
and out of the funds of such special employment and training
services fund created by this section.
(b) Whenever the balance in the special employment and training
services fund exceeds eight million five hundred thousand dollars
($8,500,000), the board shall order payment of the amount that
exceeds eight million five hundred thousand dollars ($8,500,000)
into the unemployment insurance benefit fund.
(c) Subject to the approval of the board and the availability of
funds, on July 1, 2008, and each subsequent July 1, the commissioner
shall release:
(1) one million dollars ($1,000,000) to the state educational
institution established under IC 21-25-2-1 for training provided
to participants in apprenticeship programs approved by the
United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship
and Training;
(2) four million dollars ($4,000,000) to the state educational
institution instituted and incorporated under IC 21-22-2-1 for
training provided to participants in joint labor and management
apprenticeship programs approved by the United States
Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training;
(3) two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) for
journeyman upgrade training to each of the state educational
institutions described in subdivisions (1) and (2);
(4) four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) annually for
training and counseling assistance:
(A) provided by Hometown Plans under 41 CFR 60-4.5; and
(B) approved by the United States Department of Labor,
Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training;
to individuals who have been unemployed for at least four (4)
weeks or whose annual income is less than twenty thousand
dollars ($20,000); and
(5) three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) annually for
training and counseling assistance provided by the state
institution established under IC 21-25-2-1 to individuals who
have been unemployed for at least four (4) weeks or whose
annual income is less than twenty thousand dollars ($20,000)
for the purpose of enabling those individuals to apply for
admission to apprenticeship programs offered by providers
approved by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of
Apprenticeship and Training.
(d) The funds released under subsection (c)(4) through (c)(5):
(1) shall be considered part of the amount allocated under
section 2.5 of this chapter; and
(2) do not limit the amount that an entity may receive under
section 2.5 of this chapter.
(e) Each state educational institution described in subsection (c)
is entitled to keep ten percent (10%) of the funds released under
subsection (c) for the payment of costs of administering the funds.
On each June 30 following the release of the funds, any funds
released under subsection (c) not used by the state educational
institutions under subsection (c) shall be returned to the special
employment and training services fund.
