(3)
The cabinet shall maintain a pooled account for contributing employers to
which shall be credited:
(a) Payments received from the federal government under the provisions of
Section 204(a)(1) of the "Federal-State Extended Unemployment
Compensation Act of 1970," and amendments thereto;
(b) All realized earnings and gains on investments of the fund;
(c) Except as provided in KRS 341.540, any balance remaining in the
reserve account of any previously subject contributing employer after
such employer has ceased to be subject to this chapter;
(d) Any payments into or amounts in the fund not allocable to any employer's
reserve account; and
(e) Any payments collected under subsection (2) of this section.
(a) Except as provided in KRS 341.530(4), any benefits paid through error
which would otherwise have been chargeable to the reserve account of a
contributory employer shall be charged against the pooled account.
However, no employer making payments to the fund in lieu of
contributions shall be relieved of charges by reason of this subsection.
(b) The repayment of benefits paid erroneously as provided in subsection (1)
of KRS 341.415 shall be credited to the pooled account. The pooled
account shall be credited with any sums deducted from future benefits as
provided in KRS 341.415 and shall be credited to the pooled account,
provided the benefits were charged to the pooled account by reason of
KRS 341.530(3), or paragraph (a) of this subsection. Except as provided
in KRS 341.415(1), if the benefits were charged to and paid by any
employer making payments to the fund in lieu of contributions, the amount
of the repayment or the sum deducted from future benefits shall be
credited to the reimbursing account of that employer, and may upon
written request from the employer be refunded without interest.
One-half (1/2) of the benefits paid to an eligible worker in accordance with KRS
341.700 to 341.740 shall be charged against the pooled account, except that
during a period in which federal payments to states under Section 204 of the
Federal-State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970 are
reduced under an order issued under Section 252 of the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-177), one-half (1/2) of
the benefits paid to an eligible worker in accordance with KRS 341.700 to
341.740, reduced by an amount equal to the difference of one-half (1/2) of the
benefits paid to an eligible worker in accordance with KRS 341.700 to 341.740
and the amount of the federal payment, shall be charged against the pooled
account.
