In enacting this chapter, it is the intention of the General Assembly to comply with
the requirements of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act and all subsequent
amendments including, but not limited to P.L. 94-566 and P.L. 95-19. Contributions
or reimbursements required herein on account of previously uncovered services
performed prior to January 1, 1978, as defined in Section 121 of the Federal
Unemployment Compensation Act of 1976, as amended, and benefits based on such
services in employment defined herein shall be payable in the same amount, on the
same terms and subject to the same conditions as benefits payable on the basis of
other service subject to this chapter. Interpretations of the provisions contained
herein or elsewhere in this chapter should be consistent with such federal act and
interpretations thereof and substantial weight should be given to the commentary
contained in those documents entitled "Draft Language and Commentary to
Implement the Unemployment Compensation Amendments of 1976 - P.L. 94-566",
"Draft Legislation to Implement the Employment Security Amendments of 1970 ...
H. R. 14705" and "Manual of State Employment Security Legislation, Revised
September 1950," published by the United States Department of Labor, Manpower
Administration.
If Public Law 94-566 or the federal act it amends shall for any cause become
inoperative in its application, or stayed pendente lite, as to services performed by
employees of this state or one (1) or more of its counties, cities, or political
subdivisions, then, the provisions of KRS 341.050(1)(d), 341.070(3) and 341.277,
by virtue of that fact, shall, likewise and to the same extent, become inoperative as
to such services. Any unobligated contributions in the unemployment insurance
fund paid into the fund by such governmental entity, or returned to this state by the
United States Treasurer because such federal law becomes inoperative, shall be
refunded to the governmental entity contributors proportionately to their
unexpended contributions under regulations of the commission. Nothing in this
subsection shall waive payments accrued in lieu of contributions.
