What it does
The CAL Repayment Act would require states to prioritize repaying outstanding federal unemployment insurance (UI) advances using any federal funds designated for that purpose before using those funds for other purposes. Specifically, states must use such funds to repay advances within five business days of receiving them, or face a penalty equal to the full amount of the misused funds if they fail to do so. The requirement applies to funds awarded on or after the date of enactment and affects state administration of federal UI loan repayment obligations under Title XII of the Social Security Act.
