P & S Law Chapter 23

	For purposes of this section, the amounts obligated under an
appropriation for administrative purposes must be charged against
transferred amounts at the exact time the obligation is entered
into. The appropriation, obligation and expenditure or other
disposition of money appropriated under this section must be
accounted for in accordance with standards established by the
United States Secretary of Labor. Money appropriated as provided
in this Act for the payment of administration must be requisitioned
as needed for the payment of obligations incurred under the
appropriation and, upon requisition, must be deposited in the
Employment Security Administration Fund from which payments are
made. Money so deposited must, until expended, remain a part of
the unemployment fund and, if it will not be immediately expended,
must be returned promptly to the account of the State of Maine in
the Federal Unemployment Trust Fund.

the purpose of maintaining and operating the State's unemployment
compensation and public employment system. The uses include
expanded unemployment, employment and labor market information
program services for workers and employers; expanded service
access options for program customers; toll-free customer access
to unemployment services delivered via telephone; consolidation
of multiple program information system platforms; federal
technology upgrades; and the repair and accessibility under the
Americans with Disabilities Act upgrade of the central employment
security administration facility in Augusta.

The amount obligated pursuant to this Act may not exceed at
