Amends title XII (Advances to State Unemployment Funds) of the Social Security Act to provide that interest shall not accrue on any advance made to a State during a specified period during which the rate of insured unemployment is equal to or greater than five percent. Provides that no repayment of any advance or of any interest on an advance shall be required during the same period.
