However, subject to Section 2101.1, such funds shall not be transferred where it is determined by the Director that it is necessary to accumulate funds in the account in order to have sufficient funds to pay interest that may become due under the terms of Section 1202 (b) of the Federal Social Security Act, as amended, upon advances made to the Illinois Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund under Title XII of the Federal Social Security Act or where it is determined by the Director that it is necessary to accumulate funds in the special administrative account in order to have sufficient funds to expend for any other purpose authorized by this Section. The balance of funds in the special administrative account that are in excess of $100,000 on the first day of each calendar quarter and not transferred to this State’s account in the unemployment trust fund, minus the amount reasonably anticipated to be needed to make payments from the special administrative account pursuant to subsections C through I, shall be certified by the Director and transferred by the State Comptroller to the Title III Social Security and Employment Fund in the State Treasury within 30 days of the first day of the calendar quarter. The Director may certify and the State Comptroller shall transfer such funds to the Title III Social Security and Employment Fund on a more frequent basis. The moneys available in the special administrative account shall be expended upon the direction of the Director whenever it appears to him that such expenditure is necessary for:
     A. 1. The proper administration of this Act and no Federal funds are available for the specific purpose for which such expenditure is to be made, provided the moneys are not substituted for appropriations from Federal funds, which in the absence of such moneys would be available and provided the monies are appropriated by the General Assembly.
