 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Declares that no provision of State (unemployment compensation) law under which the State's base period is defined or otherwise determined shall be considered a provision for a method of administration subject to a Social Security Act requirement that methods of administration must be found by the Secretary of Labor to be reasonably calculated to insure full payment of unemployment compensation when due. Provides that, for purposes of this Act, "base period" and "State law" have the same meanings as under the Federal-State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970.
