§ 52-02-11 — Reimbursement of funds

The state of North Dakota recognizes its obligation to replace, and hereby pledges the faith
of this state that funds will be provided in the future and be applied to the replacement of, any
moneys received after July 1, 1941, from the social security board under title III of the Social
Security Act [42 U.S.C. 501 et seq.], any unencumbered balances relating to the administration
of the North Dakota unemployment compensation law in the job service administration fund as
of that date, any moneys thereafter granted to the state pursuant to the provisions of the
Wagner-Peyser Act [48 Stat. 113; 29 U.S.C. 49-49k], and any moneys made available by the
state or its political subdivisions and matched by such moneys granted to the state pursuant to
the provisions of the Wagner-Peyser Act, which the social security board finds have been lost or
have been expended because of any action or contingency for purposes other than or in
amounts in excess of those found necessary for the proper administration of the North Dakota
unemployment compensation law by the social security board. Such moneys must be replaced
promptly by moneys appropriated for such purpose from the general funds of this state to the
job service administration fund for expenditure as provided in section 52-02-09. The amount of
money required for such replacement must be reported promptly by the bureau to the governor
and the governor shall report the same to the legislative assembly. This section may not be
construed to relieve the state of North Dakota of its obligation with respect to funds received
prior to July 1, 1941, pursuant to the provisions of title III of the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C.
501 et seq.].
