61.557 Service credit -- United States employment service.

(2)
Inasmuch as the takeover of the Kentucky State Employment Service by the
federal government, through its United States Employment Service and War
Manpower Commission, was recognized by both federal and state
governments as a temporary measure during the war emergency, and the
employment service was, in fact, returned to the state government at the close
of the emergency period, the employees of the service are recognized as
employees of the Commonwealth for the purposes of KRS 61.510 to 61.692
during the period of control by the federal government, in the same manner as
if they had been employed in another department of the government of the
Commonwealth during that period.
If a parted employer rejoins a department as a result of the cancellation of a
contract or lease arrangement, thereby causing each employee thereof to
again become an employee as defined in KRS 61.510(5), the system may
negotiate with the publicly held corporation or other similar organizations for
payment for the years of service credit under the system for all employees
working on the date the contract or other lease arrangement is canceled in
order to avoid an impairment in the retirement benefits of the employees, if any
payment accepted by the system for the service is based on a formula
consistent with the provisions of KRS 61.552(7). No payment made pursuant to
this section shall be picked up by the employer, as described in KRS
61.560(4).
