Terms Used In Oregon Statutes 657.825
- Appropriation: The provision of funds, through an annual appropriations act or a permanent law, for federal agencies to make payments out of the Treasury for specified purposes. The formal federal spending process consists of two sequential steps: authorization
- employment: includes service that is:
(a) Subject to the tax imposed by the Federal Unemployment Tax Act; or
(b) Required to be covered under this chapter as a condition for employers to receive a full tax credit against the tax imposed by the Federal Unemployment Tax Act. See Oregon Statutes 657.030
(2) If any moneys received for the Unemployment Compensation Administration Fund under title III of the Social Security Act or the Wagner-Peyser Act are found by the Secretary of Labor, because of any action or contingency, to have been lost or been expended for purposes other than, or in amounts in excess of, those found necessary by the Secretary of Labor for the proper administration of this chapter, it is the policy of this state that such moneys shall be replaced by moneys appropriated for such purpose from the General Fund of this state to the Unemployment Compensation Administration Fund for expenditure as provided in ORS § 657.820. Upon receipt of notice of such a finding by the Secretary of Labor, the Director of the Employment Department promptly shall report the amount required for such replacement to the Governor. The Governor shall, at the earliest opportunity, submit to the legislature a request for the appropriation of such amount. This section shall not be construed to relieve this state of its obligations with respect to funds received prior to July 1, 1941, pursuant to title III of the Social Security Act.
