 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Amends the Internal Revenue Code to classify as an administrative expense for purposes of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) fees in connection with the use of electronic benefit transfer debit cards, thus prohibiting a state from deducting such fees from unemployment compensation payments made with state unemployment tax funds.
