(a) The State Treasurer, as treasurer of the Connecticut Unemployment Compensation Fund, shall, as directed by the administrator, requisition from the Unemployment Trust Fund such amounts, not exceeding the amount standing to this state's account therein, as the administrator deems necessary for the payment of benefits. Upon receipt thereof, said treasurer shall deposit such moneys in a depository designated by the treasurer in a fund to be known as the Unemployment Compensation Benefit Fund, from which fund the administrator shall pay the benefits provided by this chapter. Benefits shall be paid to a claimant, so far as is practical, in the local office where the claim for benefits was filed. The administrator shall be liable on his official bond for the faithful performance of his duties in connection with the Unemployment Compensation Benefit Fund. All sums recovered on any surety bond for losses sustained by the Unemployment Compensation Benefit Fund shall be deposited in the Unemployment Compensation Fund in the State Treasury.
